I have 12 bantam pullets (various breeds) almost 21 weeks old and we got our first egg today! It was perfect, very light brown, nice shape, and a hard shell even though they're still eating grower with no extra calcium. I did put out oyster shell after finding the egg though. I'm so proud!
Anyway, enough bragging! I don't know who laid it, I suspect one of the barred rocks but I really don't know so I want to catch her in the act. I found the egg in early afternoon, I spend a lot of time with them every afternoon but obviously the egg was laid before that. So what time of day should I be out there watching for them to lay?
Thanks!
