first egg

    First Egg! Unknown Origin.

    Just found my first egg this morning! Unfortunately it was on the floor and my ducks and chickens share the same coop. I don't think any of my chickens are old enough though, my oldest ones are from June/July.

    We know who layed the egg!

    I did the finger test where you check how far the bones are from the cloaca and we concluded it was clover! Her egg was a cream colour. and a question: is egglaying regular straight away or does it take a while to become regular? Because she hasn’t laid since that first egg.

    I think she answered my question...

    I joined this group yesterday to post some new behaviors I was seeing from my Buff Orpington. I'm a new chicken momma and all of my girls are between 20-22 weeks. Yesterday my Buff was screaming all day and laying on the ground in the coop and just being obnoxious overall. The videos are posted...

    Georgina squatted for me!

    So excited to see my rebel girl Curious Georgina squat in front of me twice yesterday and once this morning. I stroked her end tail is that the right thing to do? She has become submissive after being totally wild ( we got her as a rescue). Still no eggs. Our flock is 12 weeks and had them since...

    Who laid this tiny egg?

    There was a teeny tiny egg in the coop this morning! All our birds are young and we only have one bird, an Ameraucana, who’s been laying for about a week. Her first egg was 33 grams and her third/most recent is 41g. The tiny egg is 9 grams!!! It’s smaller than a quail egg! This egg is brown...

    Our first egg!

    Our little lady hatched around December 18 laid her first egg today! She’s a blue Ameraucana, we’re still waiting on our salmon Faverolles, followed by a bunch of younger girls starting with a Houdan next month. We have a fully mixed flock so the lay dates are all over the place. The big girls...

    Finally...Olive Egger Pullets Are Laying!

    What's better than a first egg?? :wee Found this little surprise today in the run (not the nest box - naughty girl - but will let it slide because she's new to it 🙄). Hoping it means the rest of the 6.5 month old girls will start laying soon, too. The pullet egg (L) is from a blue-laying EE...

    Hen lays first egg in wrong place

    Hi! One of my hens (my first flock) laid her first egg yesterday- yay! But she did it in the back of the feed storage room in our barn instead of the nesting box. I saw her going there again this morning and picked her up and locked her in the coop. Now it’s hours later and she still hasn’t...

    My Egg Pipped!

    I'm just super excited so I made a thread! My girls just stared laying and I popped one egg in the bator and it pipped this morning! It's from my Sapphire Olive Egger (she doesn't lay green eggs but oh well) and most likely my White Japanese Bantam. It's pipped at the wrong end but I've had eggs...

And another girl getting sick, our girl Hazel decided she'd bring us a little extra joy today and lay the first egg of our 6 girls!!! When I heard her singing the egg laying song I almost couldn't...

    First egg by our Australorp

    The other day our grandson found the very first egg of our very first chickens, in our brand new coop. He was so happy... It was a long wait of about 18 weeks since we got the chicks about few days old. In the next two days we got two more eggs. They are quite small. Hope they get bigger. We...

    First eggs, one with very thin shell

    I’m so excited that my girls laid their first eggs! I found 3 eggs today! Two were in their pool and one on the ground. One in the pool was very thin shelled, kinda soft. I’m guessing it’s the one girl who seems to be more timid. Do I just add chick grit to their food? What food do y’all use...
