Here are the first 24 eggs laid by our new Plymouth Barred Rock hens. They are all same-age new layers (some newer than the others!). First eggs are very inconsistent. Check out the 6th egg on the 2nd row; that is definitely a first egg. It's about the size of a quail egg! Some of the larger eggs are likely double-yolkers which tend to occur more frequently when a hen first starts laying.
Update: This morning for breakfast, Iain and I ate two of the big eggs. They were indeed double yolkers :-). Yum!
