And now....

Messed around tonight and placed a Camera in the coop. Have a look, it updates an image every minute! About halfway down the page you'll see it: www.DahlonegaWeather.com Or the direct link to the image only is: http://dahlonegaweather.com/cam_2.jpg

My 5 hens are laying on avg about 3 a day. I can't figure out why I'm getting speckled eggs!

We have 5 hens that started laying on the 20th of Oct. So far, we're up to 3 eggs daily!

Goofing off with the lighting and the chickens..

Those are the pics of the eggs we've collected. Since the 20th, we've had an egg everyday and today we found 3 eggs in the nesting box. So far, so good. :)

Thanks for the replys yall. I have a cell phone video of my 9yo daughter checking for it.. It's precious! Not sure if I can post a video. My wife was pretty excited too. :)

Okay, so now the questions begin.. We do have a rooster, so I'm guessing that chances are good it's a fertilized egg. So to stop the process, do we refrigerate the egg? And, as we collect eggs, how long can they stay out of the refridgerator? Pretty obvious we're new to this huh?

24 weeks after our neighbor gave us some fluffy one-day old Black Copper Maran chicks, we have our 1st egg! I just came home and found it!

We're having a ball with these little chickens. They were born May 1st of this year. We have no idea what breed they are, and really have no care.. It's all about the fun we're having! We started with 9 babies however we lost a hen last week to a Hawk. Here's a few pictures [/IMG][/IMG]

Here's what we have so far. I'm not even sure in the breed. Somehow we wound up with 9 of them. They seem to be okay for now. So far, so good. :)
