Egg Watch 2012 has officially begun. 

Now that Im a bit more seasoned in raising chickens, I didnt think Id get so excited for the new girls to start laying. Im not hanging around and giving them performance anxiety like I did with our original hens, but Im still out there more than usual. Chickens typically start laying anywhere between four to six months and our older girls all started laying at 22 weeks. It could be several weeks still but Im thinking my sweet Francie (yes, she is supposed to look like that - she is a naked neck) may start laying soon since shes been spending a lot of time around the nesting boxes. Anytime now chickies...we need more eggs.

2/7/11 Update: It looks like the chickens got the message because I found these in one of the nesting boxes today:


The light green egg on the right is Lucys and the little brown egg on the left is from one of the new girls. Im thinking its from Minnie because her comb and waddles are super red today. I am a proud chicken mama!
