Eggs

Well our girls are doing an eggcellent job at the moment with even one of the newest girls starting to lay.  The speckled sussex has just started and she has white eggs which are small at the moment like a bantam egg but will get much bigger as she develops.  I expect the other two will be starting within the next 6 weeks too as they are a fair bit younger.  Omlettes tomorrow night yum!

Hurrah! My daughter had new chickens some time ago, so I know the excitement of the first egg, my little grandson phoned me to tell me all about it :-)

It's always exciting when new girls start laying isn't it. I've notice the comb on one of our new girls is getting bigger, so eggs can't be far away. Jacinta

Oh, I miss having chooks!!! Thankfully, I have a wonderful friend who gives me 'home eggs' reasonably often. Enjoy your omelette with oh so fresh eggs. Cheers.
