When on earth will my EE's lay??

[Chickadeedeedeedee]

I don't think they were 4-5 months old in May. If they have grown a ton since you got them. They look to be 4-5 months old NOW to me.

They have grown a lot, but when we got them we were told they were started pullets 15-20 months old. Here is a photo of them about a week after we got them. Not a great photo, but they were a decent size already.

Outstanding! So ... how old are they?

I assume that came from one of your recalcitrant EE and not from Amazon, right?

I'm pretty sure they are right around 7 months now. So the others should be laying soon as wellit was so exciting!!

I kind of expected one any day based on her actions, but I know I gasped and quickly ran to show my husband! And I thought it was the cutest egg I've ever seen

Yes, the first egg is practically a miracle! So who gets to eat it?

We always make a big deal about who gets to eat the first egg.
