Admittedly it was laid while the chook was on a perch and not in a nestbox, soft shelled and broken when I saw it, but other than that, it's the first egg!!! So technically I'll consider the first one I get to eat the first egg, but I'm excited that the first eating egg is close.

I just ate the first eggs from my new girls, this evening. Soft boiled, with a light sprinkle of salt. Very nice. I wasn't expecting eggs quite so soon after getting them yesterday.

Yeah you were real lucky with that turnaround time Mine were bought POL, the comb and wattles are now quite red on 2 of the others and the 4th isn't far behind. Looking forward to having more eggs than I know what to do with!

Maybe it was the bunch of grapes and mound of broccoli I gave mine as a welcome treat that did it?

hahahahaha!! *cackled the person with 20 dozen sitting on the side, despite eating 3-5 eggs everyday, making meringues etc and scrambling the oldest 4 dozen to feed back to the chickens*

Have you tried hiding in a hedge and throwing them at youths?

There aren't even yoofs about round here, and very little passing trade at the gate. (no through lane)
Things should ease when 7 of my layers go to a new home this weekend......then I'll be complaining I've no eggs
