Happy Day! We joined the 'New Egg' group! I noticed one of the silver phoenix pullets was messing around in the nest box earlier today and when I went to look later, here is what I found!



We were given two Welsummer hens that were already laying, and here is the new egg next to one of theirs that I also collected today. It's tiny, just the cutest thing! Also one of those Welsummers has decided she is broody, so I have my first broody hen too. She snuck off and is sitting on two eggs.

Dilute or it could cause a bad reaction. While not the same, think of it like bleach, you would not want to put bleach directly on your skin but tossing a rag with diluted bleach water on it into the washer is not that bad.


Took the family to the poultry show at the not so far away fair today. I got to see some mature heritage RIR, they were lovely. I even took the time to ask the judge a couple of questions. I was surprised by the amount of time the judges spent privately quizzing the 4H people before passing out ribbons. Then when it came time to judge the birds, the judging went super fast. Thankfully the RIR were first in line. No Sumatra's were shown but there is always another fair next week. Any one know when the poultry judging is for the Johnson County Fair?

Ohh and I think the birds got mad at me for being gone most of the day. We got 2/3 of the normal amount of eggs. So either they did not lay or something ate them shell and all. No evidence of a snake but it was my first thought followed by I wonder if one of the chickens is eating eggs.
