Eggs

Eggs! YAY! OK, So I was feeding and checking on the chickens tonight when I looked in the nest box…

I saw an egg.. YAY… oh.. I see some yolk…

They had eaten it. One or all of them, and it was not a pullet egg it was a normal size nice brown egg.

I dont know if it was laid last night or during the day. Hopefully this means production will start and we will get some eggs appearing on a more consistent basis. Its also good I ran out of feed tonight as they were on grower feed (higher protein) and now I can switch to layer feed (less protein and extra oyster shell) for egg production.

YAY!! Finally the one of the chickens has decided to start paying rent.

Yay!!! Eggs! Can you guys remind me… when did you get your chicks? How old were they and were they sexed? We’re hoping to get going with chickens this Spring.

Yep we ate 6 fresh eggs tonight yum! briiight yellow yolks.

We got pre-sexed chicks (hens only, no roo’s.) they were 1 day old when they were put into a packing box and sent via USPS. they took 2 or 3 days to arrive, no casualties all healthy and hungry.
