14 EGGS!
Our silver laced Wyandotte named "Night" started laying eggs but instead of putting them in the nesting box decided that this would be the perfect place. So after 14 days of laying eggs I finally noticed the pile. We had been making comments for two weeks now about her making "egg laying" noises but could never find any eggs. We took 12 of them inside for us to use and moved the remaining two into her nesting box.
After placing her in the box the next day she had taken to it. Just this evening I went out there and the two eggs had become three. Including a blue/green one from a different hen!
It's exciting to start getting the fresh eggs from our own chickens. I'm sure the other two will start laying in about 1-2 weeks. Oh all the excitement at our house!
