Funny!

Check out these eggs! The small( teeny) egg was layed the same day that the extra large one was, from different hens of course. That little one was from one of Steve's hens. Every once and a while he gets a couple of these, and there is never any yolk inside.. The quarter is for size comparison.
Have a wonderful day everyone.

Macro Monday

We have several different colors of chickens, and this particular hen is called a Golden Laced Wyandotte. If you look closely at the feathers, you might think they resemble fronds on a fern.

Happy Monday everyone.

Good Dozen!

Just an example of a good dozen of eggs from today. The big one 2nd from the left top row is the size of a duck egg. "Double yolker" for sure. It's only the 2nd one I've gotten, but Steve's hens are great at laying these big whoppers. The girls are just about up to full laying capacity now, and we usually have plenty of fresh eggs to sell."

Cold and snow!

Yes the hens are doing great and even a few have ventured outside in the snow. Tonight I put a good 4" of new bedding in their coop and I am sure they will love it. At Mom's barn I did the same for the big pen and the bantams.

Three Freckled eggs

One Copper Maran chicken laid the eggs in the back. She is black with dark brown feathers around their neck. We have three of the chickens. The three chickens are all sisters.

This is writen by me Rebecca Steve's 9 year old daughter.

Big doubles!

These big ones were layed just the other day. The picture was taken by my 9 year old daughter. She did a great job. They also tasted great!
