Congrats! They are beautiful girls but why in the world are you weighing their eggs may I ask?

I remember my first egg too! I froze~ it was like a jewel, that perfect smooth oval, a pale brown/green! I still get a twinge of it when I check the nest and find eggs!

Just to see what they would be labeled if they were bought in the store..i.e. medium, large etc. It's pretty much just for my curiousity, which is why I asked if they would get bigger as my girls got older. I've seen some whoppers on here.

Oh and Lexus laid me an egg today. I caught her in the act

She was the only one. I'm wondering if maybe she was the one who didn't lay one yesterday? Should I expect them to lay every other day or do Orps usually lay every day?

All my young pullets are laying. It's so exciting. I have to actually use a basket. Congrats on the egg!!!
