Hi everyone,
So sorry for the delay in posts. I've been wrapping up my Master's capstone and it has taken a lot of my time, but I'm back!
On August 5th, with the Barred rocks being 18 weeks old, we saw our first egg! Now that is surprisingly young in comparison to the six months I had originally read about. I was so excited and we have gotten more and more eggs each day. Today is August 26th, yesterday we had 8 eggs, today we had 5. It is pretty sporadic right now. Our 8th egg yesterday was laid later in the day and wasn't fully developed. It looked like a ping-pong ball on the coop floor and felt very squishy and delicate. It freaked out my boyfriend, but I thought it was fascinating.
