Ok, maybe I'm a bit over excited, but I am new to chickens, and maybe next year I won't be so goofy. Until then, well, you'll have to ignore my child-like behavior..lol
We had purchased eleven 3 year old hens, and eight 17 month olds. After putting a roo with each set, and finally realizing we needed to seperate the two groups, the younger ones started laying. That was exciting to me in and of itself, giving me about an egg a day for the last couple of days. (We've had them 2 weeks) But this morning...WOOHOO! I went down to open the coop, feed/water, and do my usual 'egg check' when what did I find? Not one, but TWO eggs!!
I couldn't believe it, I was so excited, and they were still warm!! The best part is that they are from the younger ones, whom I thought had stopped laying because of the move. I had gotten about 3 from the other, older group, but they weren't real nice eggs. Almost soft, and a real light tan.
Anyway, I know its not a big deal, but I was really excited, so I thought I'd share.
