We have our FIRST EGGS!!!!

[ChickieChickieMama]

This morning, Babette laid her first egg. It's the one on the left and is slightly larger and speckled!! Then, a few hours later, her sister Lucille laid her first egg! It's the darker, smaller one on the right.

I'm so proud of my lovely ladies! I KNEW it was going to happen today! They are 16.5 weeks old and are both Golden Comets. They're the eldest hens in my flock, so it will still be awhile before we get more from the rest of the ladies.

Congrats! Lovely eggs & girls.

Congratulations! I have 8 golden comets and the eggs will get bigger as they keep laying.

 

[ChickieChickieMama]

Thanks everyone! I'm such a proud chickie mama!!

@Newchickymama37 What about the dark Speckles? Is that just a fluke or will Babette always lay speckled eggs? I didn't expect that at all but I was so happy to see it because I LOVE speckled eggs.

The first eggs are so exciting. Enjoy them!

Congratulations! And the color is obsenely lovely, isn't it? So many things go wrong in our world, it's hard to keep track, and hard to know how to respond. But your baby girls making thier first eggs is such a kicker! It's just a grand and glorious event! We felt the same way. Even though we knew chickens lay eggs, it was still such s shock and surprise! Now there's so many we eat Crustless Quiche at least once a week!
