I got my first one whooooooop!!!

Presume it was my bovans nera as her comb is the biggest and reddest!

Only need two more for an omelette

It may only be one but it will be the best egg you ever eaten Andrew

super, exciting isn't it when they lay 

[ANHBUC]

I am waiting for three of my girls to restart laying after molting.  Their combs are getting bigger and redder so hopefully not too long to wait.  Think I will be as excited as when they laid their first eggs as it is a really magical thing.   :blink:

  It's brilliant when you get the first egg isn't it. Congratulations!  :blink:
One of mine started to lay just before Christmas and yesterday I found a tiny egg, so one of the others must have caught onto the idea too.

well I'm now back up to 7 a day from just 1 so spring is on it's way

Second egg today!!

Found it in the run rather than the nesting box - is that normal!?

Also is there a site that shows particular breeds eggs so I can tell who's laid which one?!

Thanks

Andy

[joyfull]

yes its normal until they get used to where they should lay (you could always place a dummy egg in the nest box to show them - a golf ball will do if you don't have a dummy egg).
What breeds do you have? Do any have a redder comb than the others? Do any of them curtsey or duck down and do a little dance when you go near them?

[Andrew4613]

Got a bovans nera, Sussex star, warren and a speckledy and I've put them in order of redness of
Comb. I think it must b the bovans. Recently got two new warrens but they're nowhere near laying looking at their combs.

The first egg was in the nesting box so was gutted today when I looked and none was there, then saw it when collecting water feeder in the run! Maybe the other chooks were sheltering from the rain and wind!

I am glad you told us it was the hen that laid your first egg!   At firdt I thought a miracle had happened! :blink:

Your ladies will soon catch on to laying inside - especially in this wet weather....
enjoy the new taste..
