My GLW Scarlett layed her first egg Wednesday morning
. I went out to see the ladies (they free range) and noticed she wasnt out and about with the flock so I started panicking that something bad happened to her, but then I opened the coop door and saw her sitting in one of our four nest boxes... I was really happy but didnt want to get my hopes up... I gave her some time and went back out to check later and she was out with the other girls so I looked in the nest box and sure enough there was a little brown egg. It was pretty little compared to our EE's eggs but I'm thinking maybe theyll get bigger as she starts to lay more. My husband said she laid another today 
I compared the egg to wednesdays and sure enough it is a tiny bit bigger. I was really shocked that she started laying in the winter. It has only been in the 20's and 30's and only 9 hours of daylight (they dont have lights in the coop) here lately so I figured she wouldn't lay until spring. We have 7 hens and now 2 are layers... still waiting on the other 5 but any eggs make me happy!!!
