THE FIRST EGG MY CHICKENS LAID

[hlhutchinson]

I have four chickens. A leghorn, easter egger, welsummer, and black australorp. They are 19 weeks old today. Our leghorn laid the very first egg (from the whole flock) today. It is tiny (my hands are really small). I am so excited to finally get an egg.

I have four chickens, an EE and Buff Orpinton (21 weeks) and an australorp and another buff (14 weeks.) I got my first egg two days ago, I would imagine out of the older Buff, Chicky. She's been squatting for a few weeks now with a very red comb. She's my favorite chicken too My EE started squatting this week so hopefully the eggs will start with her too. My kids were over the moon!

From the look of it I have to guess that Mary our Ameraucana is the winner. But....he comb and wattles aren't really red like several others are. So it may still be a mystery.

It's kinda small but that's typical of firsts. Eeeek!!

Ok. I have 4 hens laying for awhile now. Small eggs. Then all of a sudden I found a grade a large egg in one of the nest boxes. Sometimes I think that someone is playing tricks on me. Lol
