Don't feel bad!! All but one of my girls have been laying for a few weeks now. The last girl FINALLY laid her first egg two days ago...and she is 26 weeks old!

That monster egg turned out to be a TRIPLE yolker!!! My son is eating it now :) One of the yolks popped when I opened the egg into the pan, but you can see the three yolks!

Commercial Black from Mt. Healthy hatchery in Ohio. They were supposed to be Barred Rocks...didn't discover what they really were till about 4 weeks old. After playing phone tag between Southern States where I bought them from and the hatchery, I found out that the hatchery shipped the CB's by...

LOL I told my hubby that I think a duck snuck into the coop! I know which girl is laying them, she's a commercial black that's 21 weeks old. I haven't seen her pop the eggs out, but I've been in the coop while she's sitting in the nesting box. She won't lay in front of me, so I wait outside...

I have got to share this with ya'll. I've posted a couple of pics of eggs that were monsters...I didn't think they could get any bigger. Boy oh boy was I wrong. I could not believe the size of this egg when I found it in the coop this morning. I've weighed every big one I've found...biggest was...

It was another double yolker! The one I got yesterday wasn't as big, haven't weighed it or cracked it open yet...but here's the one in the pic above...in my hand and then in the frying pan!

Congrats!!!

It's all personal preference. The bloom protects the egg...EVEN from poop...as long as the egg does not get wet. Therefore, the eggs are shelf-stable, meaning no refrigeration required. As long as the eggs are kept somewhere that's not hot, they will be good for a couple of months (Did you know...

I posted this morning about an egg I found yesterday...the "monster egg" that weighed 2.2 oz. Well, after I posted I went out to gather eggs...and I found another whopper...only this one weighed 2.6 oz!!!!! Another double yolker for sure!!!!

All but one of my girls is laying (I think) because every other day I get 7 eggs and I have 8 girls. The eggs are on the small side for the most part...but they just started laying a few weeks ago. Then I went out to the coop yesterday to collect any eggs. And I found this whopper! I swear a...

One of my Commercial Blacks (Barred Rock cross from Mt. Healthy hatchery) laid her first egg at 16 weeks. One of my Barred Rocks laid four days later but she's 4 weeks older than my CB's. So I think it depends on the chicken...some lay early, some don't. My other Barred Rock girl hasn't laid...

Nope, wasn't a double yolk...just a really big single yolk!

Found 3 eggs today which means another pullet started laying! My first pullet (Commercial Black...BR cross) started laying July 23rd, and has laid an egg for me every day. Pullet 2 started laying 3 days later on the 26th. She's laid every day but 1. This new pullet popped out a bigger egg than...

They are getting chick start and egg shells. I'm transitioning them to layer feed...currently they are getting 1/4 layer to 3/4 chick start, as well as the crushed egg shells. Monday I go to half and half, the week after 3/4 layer to 1/4 starter, then the week after on layer totally. And yes, I...

Twilight fan, huh? hehe

Found another egg today from a different hen! That's two in one day, and I only got my first egg a few days ago! The new egg on the left, the egg from this morning on the right. The new egg is really weird, like it didn't harden right or something, I don't know. It was also the color of...

One egg a day for the past 4 days!!! I've been taking pics of each one to compare...also weighed three of the 4, couldn't weigh egg 2 cuz my son cracked it open before I could stop him to weigh it LOL... Day 1: This egg weighed 1.2 ounces Day 2: No weight (thanks son! lol) Day 3: Weight...

WOW you ain't kiddin'!!! I weighed two of my 3 first eggs...first one was 1.2 ounces, second one 1.0 ounces. I weighed a couple of large eggs from the carton in the fridge (from grocery store) and they weighed 1.9 and 2.0 ounces. She popped out a big'n!!!

My first egg was yesterday, and I got another one today! That's two in a row, woohoo!!!

My first egg yesterday morning. Came from one of my 16 week old Commercial Blacks (Barred Rock cross). She sang the egg song for an hour before the egg finally popped out!
