Our little chickens have grown up and started laying eggs just over a week ago! So far, we've had 29 eggs. New layers make smallish eggs, but last night we got a big one! Check out the color that the yolks make for our scrambled eggs! That is because they are in a chicken tractor and my husband moves it to fresh grass each morning. We've also been giving them some of the extras from the garden and they love watermelon rinds, too! I am SO happy!
My husband started building the chicken house today. He is a very clever man.
We didn't get any eggs from our new chickens last year for months after they should have started laying. After we trapped a possum, we started seeing eggs in the nest. Finally figured out what had happened to the eggs.
ReplyDeleteI remember that! How many chickens do you have? I'm glad the possum didn't hurt the chickens!
DeleteThat is wonderful! I sure miss having fresh eggs from my own chickens.
