Well? In my case, it was the chicken! I have been waiting since August 27th when we decided to build a chicken coop for eggs. I got my chickens and then got three more. I had two eggs from the Aracauna's the first two days I got them and then have had none since. Someone had recently told me that the Barred Rocks probably wouldn't lay until spring. We put a light inside to encourage them and I had just decided to not worry about it this year and unplugged the light.
I got my first egg this morning! It has to be from the Barred Rocks because it is a small brown egg and a bit smaller than the ones I've been getting from my good friend at work Cheryl.
I did encourage them by putting plastic Easter eggs in all of the next boxes about a week ago. They took two out and left one in the box.
Doesn't my first egg look lonely in the basket?
Here is the inspiration. :)
