I have 3 EEs that were all hatched at the same time that laid 2 months apart so there really is no telling when they are going to reach maturity compared to their siblings. The last of my flock of 5 (a small BA mix) finally laid her first egg a couple weeks ago - she was 40 weeks old and it was...

I'm trying to figure out how your chicken snuck into the house and, beyond that, found your bed!

Marshmallow the EE: Her egg:

Do you have a picture of your EE? I have a white EE and the guy I bought her from thought the hatchery screwed up and sent him 5 white leghorns instead of 4, but the "fifth" leghorn was my EE marshmallow. He figured it out by looking at her legs. Leghorns have yellow legs, but hers were green.

Awesome double yolker! A lot of people use a bucket on its side just like that for nesting boxes. Maybe you can put the bucket next to the boxes so you don't have to run around collecting eggs? My first layer was laying on the coop floor UNDER the nest boxes and I just put a golf ball (fake...

I do not have a recent picture of her, but my disclaimer is that she is some kind of bantam australorp barnyard mix and I'm guessing that's why she is not laying yet. Her sister laid for the first time a couple weeks ago a cute little bantam egg, but as soon as the temps dropped below zero, no...

Beautiful display! I love my EEs for their egg color, but this is a most impressive variety! Do all those different breeds get along with each other?

Mine made noise the first couple of times, but not since. Maybe because it's winter and I'm not outside all the time. Come summer maybe I will hear more beautiful egg songs!

Wow - their cycles are in sync!

Awesome photography! Congrats! It IS amazing! Congrats!

Yay! What is this chicken thinking? That? Came out of where? What?

I love my chickens, too. I wasn't going to make them pets, but how can you not when you hand-raise a small flock?

@dan26552 love the avatar. Looks like you have a dog with superhero powers. My eyes are made of kryptonite!
