FINALLY!! The First Egg!

Laid on Sunday, December 5th. (a second egg was laid, presumably by the same lady 2 days later)

Not sure who laid it, but the two main suspects (at 25 weeks of age) are Desdemona, the BA in the middle of this photo...

...or it's this one, Matilda, the single-combed SLW standing next to the BO in this photo...

The 2 golden one's, I'm pretty sure they lay light brown eggs. It could be the other 2. I also have golden chicken and it's light brown. Doesn't it feel good when you get your first egg ? I still feel excited and happy when I find eggs everyday ) The hard work for them finally pays off with bonuses

What LOVELY chickens you have!

I literally jumped up and down when Miss Moody laid her first egg, lol. I don't know if my DH was smiling b/c it was our first egg or he thought it was funny to see me jump up and down about an egg, LOL.

Congrats!!!

congrats! whee! i got my first egg too last thursday!

then saturday there was another egg and monday there were 2!!!!! i dont know who laid the other one but it was slightly smaller and lighter pink. carmen my buff cochin is due to lay again today i believe!

yay! I wonder who the small pinkie layer is though!

i know carmen laid that egg though because it was before i had completely integrated 4 birds into my flock of 5 birds i checked their vents and carmens was like 3x bigger than the other ones' vents. also she's been hanging out in the nest box a lot and her comb grew 3x bigger in the past 1 month....

Congratulations!

The first egg is always exciting. Plus, they get bigger and tastier over time, too.
