3rd Green Egg

Today I collected our 3rd green egg in 4 days. Gloria’s laying schedule is a bit off but she’s popping out amazing (smallish) green eggs. She started about 2.5 weeks after coming to her new home so that’s good information when integrating a new lady into your flock.

Is it a flock of chickens or a brood? Just learned its a FLOCK of chickens if there are roosters. It is a BROOD if there are all hens. brood

Here’s a shot of all three of the green eggs. You can see that they each get slightly bigger.

Should I be worried?

I’m 24 weeks and 4 days and my younger ladies haven’t laid eggs yet. 2 Welsummers and 1 Americana. Should I be worried? They do not appear to be distressed. I’ve got them on lockdown in the coop/run area hoping that they will lay.
