I have five hens (2 rhode stars, 2 Amber Stars and a black rock) i opened them up fed them watered them and out of curiosity i found 2 eggs. they're quite small as it's their first eggs but has anyone got any idea when the others will start laying.

If they are all the same age, probably fairly soon, however I suppose the real answer is "When they feel like it!"
