When do we get eggs?

We've been reliably informed that we should get our first eggs by the end of January. When they're fully up and running in the spring and summer we'll be getting between 15-20 eggs a week. Apparently the first ones may have soft shells or no shells or look like chicken droppings. Mmmm

I've also found out (I'm not making this up) that egg colour depends on the colour of the earlobes. We're looking forward to brown, white and blue eggs. It's also a handy way of showing who's not pulling their weight in the laying department.
