I got my first egg from one of the babies! Since they aren't supposed to stay laying until they are 5 months old, we have an early bloomer in the flock, laying at just 4 1/2 months. Judging by the color of the egg, it is the Starlight Green Egger that is laying. The Easter Egger won't be far behind, and should have blueish eggs. The Sapphire Gem usually starts at 6 months, so she'll be a bit behind the other two, laying brown eggs.
