Thanks! I get so excited every time I gather my eggs! I hope yours will do the same for you

Congratulations!!
The first eggs are always exciting and the blue ones even more.

This is a picture of when I got a second blue egg, i.e. when a second araucana pullet laid her first egg. Mine are cute but soooo tiny for the moment

All my chickens are now 22 weeks old, and none of them are laying yet. 5 of them are Whiting's. We've had a horribly hot summer and I'm sure that's why. They are outside under the trees in deep shade, and are doing fine other than no eggs. My rooster has started to mount them and I thought that was a sure sign, but nuthin'! Any ideas?

What are you feeding them?
Are they locked up until at least 8 each morning?

I'm transitioning them from chick feed to layer feed, and they're about to half and half now. I let them out at 8:30 - is that too early?

Mine don't lay that early. It might be 10:00 or later. Also, you might need to wait for an egg until they've been on 100% layer feed for at least a week. Good luck!

Still waiting on my WTB (Jan 6/24wks) ... The WTGs started laying at 20wks, everyday, one before 8am & the other around 11am. Although insist on the poop board as a nest, so I cover it with plastic so she's going in the nest box, hopefully someday she'll get it. One lays "green" while the other lays pink/brown eggs, they are consistent layers for sure.
