I am so sorryBoo. Our only one laying on the regular got eaten by either a hawk or a dog. Not sure which. We just found the body.
Alas poor Shakespeare. He hath cross-ed the road.
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and clucks her hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by a rooster, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
That's a nice assortment of eggs
I can't wait till my EEs start laying me some green or blue eggs. Mine are 18 weeks old.Here's the first six baby green eggs I got from Maisie, my first EE. Each one is a little bigger than the last. She was only 18 weeks when she laid the first one. As of today she's laid one every day for 13 straight days! I've never had a hen that laid more than 6 days without a break. Her twin sister, Daisy, is now almost 20 weeks and not an egg in sight. I call her Lazy Daisy

The hens did all the work. They are pretty aren't they!? I can't wait for my Leghorns and other brown layers to start. Each of the brown layers should be a different shade. Then the white from the Leghorns and Mary's teal. It'll be a very attractive assortment.
