well just had to share it with you all, after keeping my chicks from 7 weeks old at 23 weeks i had my first egg :-)
i was so excited, out of the 6 i was sure which one it was but then yesterday i heard a racket and went out to investigate and sure enough there she was in the nesting box making me my breakfast lol it as amazing to hear and see, so far she has laid everyday at the same time a perfect egg which are getting slightly bigger.
im now reliving my childhood memories and sharing them with my children, great feeling xxx

Oh how lovely Dawnie!  That first egg really is something special.   Now that I have my own home-made eggs I will never go back to the supermarket ones!

Brilliant news. Congratulations on your first egg. Lets hope your laying girl keeps on laying and the other girls join in the fun very soon.
Its only when you've been eating your home produced eggs for a while, you realise how tasteless supermarket eggs are, even the so called free range rip-offs.

Bon appetit!!

I think you never lose the excitement of finding eggs in the nesting box.  I know I never did    I no longer keep hens and I really miss them and their eggs
