Chicken Eggs

I'm not sure what to think about this really, but I think one of the chicks has laid her first egg. She is only 14 weeks old, and I think she is still quite small, but I clearly heard her clucking and sitting in the coop (photo above), and later there was a small egg. I think 20 weeks or more is a more appropriate age to start laying eggs. I'll have to keep a close eye on this to see what is going on.

Also, I think one of the "hens" is a rooster. He/she is developing quite large wattles and a large comb. I hope he is just maturing more quickly than the rest and is actually a she.


In any case, the chickens are growing and developing their own personalities. There is one chicken who has a dark circle on the tip of her tail. She is curious and friendly in the sense that she comes running out to greet us each time we go outside, but when we reach down to touch her she bites our finger (not hard), then she lets us touch her.
