This girl was freeloading for a bit. I was worried, this is her 1st full year... Then I followed the brat... Ha! Holding out! So its been off n on rain, heat and what not and I hate to waste them so scrambled them up with garlic and added the crushed shells and fed them a dinner...

I waiting on my avatar splash wheatan ameraucana to lay...blue eggs have STILL evaded me :/ I think its a rough time of year to come in to lay with the light change? Nature tells them to hold out. A few people told me a pullet I have might be delayed until after January. Doh. I have added light...

Thanks! Red gave us a double yolker today lol

So I was unable to collect a pair of eggs from yesterday and collected them and today's 4 a lil while ago (10:30pm or so). Weather was in the 80's both days. Normally I'm on those eggs as soon as the girls drop them lol they're clean, are they safe? It's been hot and rainy but they were nice...

Upper 80s with super high humidity last few days...my girls were panting pretty bad too (and the real heat hasn't even started yet!) I filled up old milk jugs and froze them. Then set 1 in the run and one out under a tree they snack near. Then I took a sheet and stapled it to the sides of run to...

Oh my goodness! Lol yes like that

A few times I had one hen lay an itty bitty one (no yolk just white but hard shell.) Then she laid a double yolker that barely fit in my hand lol poor girl. She's a month into laying now and all is well. Patience in the beginning they'll work it out!

Whoops dbl post!

My barred rocks 1st egg was a shellless egg, just the membrane encasing the yolk/white. She laid one other soft egg but all other eggs are perfect. I offered some oyster shell and started saving shells of eaten eggs and crushing them up and they eat both.
