Drum roll please!!
Our Buff Orp has laid - woohoo! Honestly, she really took me by surprise (I'd read or heard that Orps are late bloomers and that they often don't start to lay until near the 40 week mark - she's only around 24w) ... anyway, she started to crouch earlier in the week, next day there was a lovely little egg in the nesting box ... and yesterday and today - so three days on the trot. They're teeeeeeny - around 37-39g each. All hardboiled and ready for a salad tonight !
