Tiny Egg

We have reason to believe the new chickens have started laying.  This morning we found this tiny egg.  When chickens first start laying, the eggs are small.  As I recall, they get normal sized within a week or two. 

I wasn't expecting eggs yet.  I wasn't expecting the first eggs until late October or early November.  This is way early.  Well, we'll see what happens.  When our first bunch of chickens started laying there was one egg one day and a week later the nesting boxes were full. 

We are heavy into travel planning.  Tomorrow we will milk Christina for the last time and Friday we leave for our first camping of the year.  In the middle of trips we plan a butcher day, but if the chickens are maturing faster than I thought those plans might not work.  Hmmm.  We'll see what happens.
