Look!! We have eggs! Well, 3 so far, over the last 7 days. There was a white feather in the nest, so I think it may be Faye (the speckled sussex) who is laying. Hopefully the others will follow shortly. Here is a picture of the egg. It is the little one on the right. The one on the left is a store bought one. So, they are much smaller right now. First egg

Here’s the egg being cooked. It’s the one in the middle. See how much darker the yolk is…

Here are a couple of pictures from holiday festivities. Kaia in her new fashion hat, and dressed as a butterfly, singing to her new slinky.

    Kaia is so adorable!

    The Speckled Sussex eggs are a much lighter brown than the others. Hard to tell from this photo, but it will probably be more apparent once more hens start laying.

    You must come try our backyard-chicken eggnog!

    Congratulations on the eggs! I’m sure they’ll be delicious. With our ducks, one started laying and within 2 weeks, I think they all were — maybe your girls will follow a similar pattern!

    Kaia’s getting so big! Looks like she’s having a wonderful time.

    Ohh I’m jealous, I have to buy my eggs at the store!
