Yay! It happened, our FIRST egg! pics

My 23 week old RIR was on the nest box from 7:30am this morning until 12:30pm. I almost posted a post because I was so worried something was wrong for her being on the nest so long. The egg is perfect and has a really hard shell! Here are pictures of the egg and my girl who laid the egg.

In my hand

Compared to a store bought large egg... I love the brown speckles on the egg!

The girl who laid the first egg!

I hope you get yours soon!

Hopefully you won't have to wait 23 weeks like I did. It's well worth the wait though!

nice! that's a good-sized egg for the first one. my RIR's lay big eggs, so hopefully yours will too since she started with that one.
