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.
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!
