    Default Chickens have started laying (pics included)

    We received our 1st eggs on 8/15. They were 19 weeks 4 days. It was bigger than our store bought eggs. When we cracked it open it was a double yoker

    Today we received 4 eggs and there is 1 more still in the nesting box.

    Here's a couple of pics of our 1st egg.

    You think my neighbors would notice a few chickens running around the condo complex?

    Great news about your eggs.

    Fantastic!!! Our newest hen, Dumpling, laid her first egg today! Now if I could just get the other two, Annie and Curly, to accept her and quit being so mean to her.
