The New Girls at Work

I've been getting white eggs for a month or so now, that I am pretty sure are from my three older hens. Then I started getting a little brown egg every couple of days in the chicken yard, so I knew one of the new hens was laying and was confused as to where she needed to do it. Then a brown egg started showing up in the lay boxes, I thought maybe she had figured it out. Now I get three or four brown eggs a day, a couple white ones and I've been waiting anxiously for my Easter egger to start. And today....
Yay!
A nice pale green egg awaited me when I fed this morning, along with three browns and three whites. By the colors/patterns of the eggs, I'm guessing I have 3, possibly 4 hens laying brown eggs, possibly one of the white hens laying a white egg, and now my fuzzy cheeked girl has chimed in :)
Egg-citing! lol couldn't resist!

I can't wait to see what my two new Easter Eggers lay; my last two laid green (she's gone) and pink (Morgan is still here but hasn't laid in a long time). It is rather amusing how eggciting eggs are!

Yumm we're getting more eggs now too. My hens are getting older but we have had eggs all winter. Not may but it kept us in eggs for breakfast!

My brahmas have finally kicked back in - I got an egg yesterday. Now if the rest of them would follow suit, I'd be happy!

I don't want to raise chickens but I sure want those eggs! They are art.

Congrats on you new layers. Ours are pretty cold this time of year and reluctant to lay.
