First egg!
This morning when I let the chickens out I noticed a dog roaming around the peremeter of our backyard. Didn't worry about it because we have the three rail and goat wire all the way around. So I let my dogs out, because Waffle thinks he's awesome, and needed to go get that dog. I came in the house and the girls and I decorated the tree, for about an hour, and heard no issues outside. I looked out real quick and the stray was about an acre away from our back acre, and I stopped thinking about him. Ten minutes later I hear Waffle going crazy barking, and as some of you might know, Bostons don't bark much at all. So I look out and he's in the barn going off on something. I of course throw on shoes and run out there, since there shouldn't be anything to bark at in the barn. I get in there and Waffle is whining at the closed gate, which is between two stalls...I look over the gate and there's Lola, one of the red sex links, laying on the cube of shavings. I automatically get excited, go through the gate, gently pick her up and there it is, our first eggs! I figure she was doing her egg song, and freaked Waffle out.
The egg is literally perfect. Solid all around, and BIG. I absolutely think the FF is the reason.
The white one is an extra large store egg. Can you believe how big her first eggs is?
Since Waffle went all nutso about the egg song I've decided I'll leave the run door closed in the mornings till about ten. Also I've got to get these girls in the nest boxes, and not laying eggs all over the other areas of the barn.
Yay!
Good pics, I like those dogs!
