Too Early???

[Moonkssd]

I received my chicks on May 2nd from Mcmurrays by my calculations they still have a few weeks yet before they start laying
Well 3 are laying eggs. Whats up with that?
I have 4 hens that are a year old and I get an egg a day from them
They wouldnt lay more than an egg a day would they?
Today there were 7 in the nest

That sounds way too early - you're saying they're not even 3 months old yet? Is it possible you didn't collect eggs yesterday so the 7 eggs are two days worth from your older hens? Any chance someone is playing a practical joke on you and adding eggs to the nest? I'm really skeptical your new chicks are laying already....

What kind of chickens do you have?

I collect every day. I dont believe I would forget to do this. Yes Im over 40 but not that bad off yet lol
I got 4 eggs yesterday.
I dont think anyone in my house is smart enough for that lol
dont tell them I said that
I guess we will see what tomorrow brings
