Day One -

Chick has two eggs beneath her. One could be hers, but the other is definitely one of the other girls' eggs. I Gathered two eggs today but I didn't pay attention to whose they were. Now Chick has gone broody! I have circled December 6 as the 21 day mark for gestation. Hope things go better this time. All the eggs I've gathered in the past few weeks. Each one about the size if a Tablespoon.

Four in One

Wow! My first collection of four eggs all in one day. I think one girl is an early layer. And the other three lay later in the day, but deliver by 2:00pm. Yahoo!

New egg in town!

One of the new girls has started laying today! One regular egg from Mona & Jack's girls, one of Chics eggs, and the new egg in town. So tiny.

More than eggs...

The big news is: Chic is laying eggs again after the sad loss of her four lil chics.

Ken is ...well Ken. And we have 4 more chickens in our backyard crew. Jaydin has named them Bella, Chelsey, Heather & Lenny. I think the girls are Lacey Wyendots? (spelling?) They are beautiful little birds. Lenny is orange.

After only a week and some issues from moving next door ... they went "home" at nite and sat on the porch rail ... Today they seem to be settling in as a flock. Nae and I clipped some wings yesterday so they can't fly over the fences anymore.

I'm so pretty

Ken was in a feisty mood this morning when he saw the bright pink plumage of my slippers. So much so, I couldnt walk across the yard without challenge.

Three Egg Thursday - Hooray!

Checked the nest one last time with defeat in my heart only to find three beauties waiting to be plucked from the nest. The only difference is that I turned off the heat lamp 3 days ago. Coincidence? Hmmm. . .
