The white leghorns were first to start and they're giving me the cutest little eggs right now. They're adorable compared to size of the eggs from the older hens.

This year's pullets have started laying in the past two days

However, it's this olive egg that has me most excited. It's from my first homebred pullet and I love the colour! I think I'm feeling more addicted than ever now that one of my Littles has started laying.
Just had to share since my friends really don't get why I'm excited.

Yup, always exciting when the hens first start laying, especially when you hatch them out yourself.

Thanks everyone!
The leghorns are 17 weeks now and I hadn't even thought about them starting to lay since I've been waiting for the olive egger, who is six weeks older, to get started. Now I have to rearrange the turkey pen so I can swipe those nest boxes for the young girls!TomK wrote:QR_BBPOST I await that moment yet again this autumn...congrats..its actually quite exciting...love the green one too..i have threee leghorns here this year at three months old now...should be interesting
