We officially have A LAYER!!!!

Beyond Excited Right Now!!!!

we officially have our first egg!!!!!! Sadly we found it on the ground and not in the nesting boxes. Any suggestions on how to teach them to use the boxes? We already have the dummy eggs so I’m not sure what else can be done.

Still I’m BEYOND excited to how many more we get!!!

Congratulations on that 1st (of many) eggs!

I'd keep the fake egg in the nesting box and see if they don't pick up on the idea with a bit of time. Sometimes the girls just don't know what's happening and can't make it to the box in time.

yay! first egg! so exciting! congratulations

just give it time for the nest boxes; I've got one that's spent a month hiding them all round the garden (and a neighbour's garden ) and has finally twigged on.

The last place I look for a 1st egg from a new layer is in the nest boxes. She should get the hang of it soon.

These are always the BEST posts around here. There's nothing like the excitement of the first egg. ...or being reminded of how exciting it was when we got our first eggs.

LOVE the Bunnikins. PERFECT for the momentous occasion!

That’s so funny because we have one lady who we have to keep in the run because she won’t stay out of the neighbors yards lol she’d be the one todo the same

That’s what we figured as well. So we are keeping our fingers crossed!!
