One of the Leghorns laid her first egg yesterday she is 19 weeks and 4 days I am so amazed at how exciting the first egg is.
Congrats! It is exciting. I still get excited at egg collection time and some of mine have been laying for a month!
One of my favorite chores each day is "egg patrol". Going out from pen to pen to see if there are any precious eggs awaiting my collection. I absolutely love it. Probably why I do it so often. Haha
Quote:Yay! We should get our first eggs by the end of December and we are already counting down, lol! Yes, first eggs are exciting, Congrats!!
With 18 hens that are 22 weeks old, we still only have 6 hens laying so we are still getting, "first eggs from the rest". Can't wait until we are getting a dozen a day.
