    Double Yolks!!!!

    I'm a newbie to this chicken obsession, but my golden comet, Emma, just started laying last week and her second egg was a double yolk and the egg itself was HUGE! I was concerned until someone replied with the same type of information and that golden comets may lay bigger eggs. Such fun! I'm...

    First egg, laid off the roost bar

    I'm new to the chicken raising scene, but this is similar to what happened with my first girl who layed an egg. I found out that my favorite girl Liz was laying last Saturday by accident. Long story, but the gist of it is that when I went in to give the coop a thorough cleaning I found that...

    HUGE Egg - Am I doing this right?

    Thanks for the comment! Actually the egg could have come from Emma (or the other girls, Victoria, Scarlett, or Amber - my girls are Southern). Since Emma started laying a few days ago, it seems as if she lays in the morning and Liz took a back seat and waited until about 11:00 or so. It's so...

    HUGE Egg - Am I doing this right?

My husband has tolerated my new found obsession with my girls and last week, my golden comet, Liz laid her first egg. I didn't know what to expect, but after reading...
