    My daily egg...

    This is a bit of an odd one. For me. I have one of my chickens (RIR) laying an egg every day. Since she started laying, she hasn't missed a day. She hops in her box at 8:40 to 8:50am and is done by 9:30 or so, rain or shine, without fail. She hasn't taken a day off yet. The conventional...

    Defeats and victories...

    We had four RIRs and two Ameraucanas... The Ameraucanas were much more fluffy but much smaller so we treated them as though they were 4-5 days younger based on that and their feather development. A couple of days ago, one of the Ameraucanas (who DW has named Omelie) became a little more sleepy...
