On Sunday, we got 5 eggs, WOW another BO is now laying! Today we were out & about till 3 pm, got home & hubby goes to let the girls & guy out to play in the yard & he comes in and says.... 4 eggs in one nest. I went & got them & put them with the 4 from yesterday, took a nap, and hubby comes in and says, Beth found 2 more eggs in the same nest....6 Eggs Today! So now 3 of my 6 BO's are now laying, along with my 3 BR. They will be 26 weeks tomorrow, my BR, Baby Girl has been laying now for 6 weeks. The eggs I have been sharing with friends, all comment on how firm the shells are & how vibrant the yolk is. Gave 11 to my friend yesterday & she asked if they were fertile or not. Told her, was not sure if Owl our roo had been manly with all the laying ladies or not. She called later while making yummy scrambled eggs and said 2 were fertile & 4 were not, and she could not wait to eat them. I am so thrilled that more of my girls are now laying! I Love My Hens & My Roo Too!
Woohoo! It's awesome isn't it? We have been getting 7 eggs from nine girls consistently. We haven't had a 9 egg day yet, but I know they have all laid an egg, at least one time. Even so, every day when I open the door to the nest boxes I am still giddy! I love it!
They are slowly getting bigger too, are now about the size of a medium size egg. It is fun watching two in two separate nest boxes, but then when I go get the eggs, they are all in one box. As soon as one is done, the other hen moves to that box. Silly girls!
