you guys doing tonight? 
e
We were just talking this morning about this statement " I know right" yes you have they are wonderful aren't they.. They give us an egg a day.. Nothing like having fod from your own backyard..
Now we are waiting for farm fresh duck eggs.. Here is one on the bottom of the photo.
We got a baby duck that is suppose to lay green eggs.. Now that is eggciting!!
Mine are molting like crazy too. I had one molting so bad she could not comfortably lower her head to eat the pinfeathers were so tight! Once they pushed through the skin she felt better.Thanks!I can't wait to see what beautiful eggs the new girls lay. I am especially looking forward to any tiny silkie eggs I might get. My RIR lays a very small egg, she used to be my smallest chicken. I still need to get a scale to weigh them. I have no idea what sizes they actually lay. My RIR Phillie was the low hen in the pecking order until the new girls were moved outside. She's quite a pest to the new girls. She doesn't hurt them but keeps them in line. I think she is doing her best to keep her spot as number 4 of the 8. I have found treats are the great equalizer. It's the only time they mix up at all. It's usually Bunny, my silkie, who will run right into the group of older girls to get her share of treats where the other newbies are still timid to go in and snatch something good. My Welsummer has decided to molt her entire tail all at once as well as a a lot of her wing feathers. She has a ton of pin feathers starting. I have started giving them high protein treat mix I made up. It's a big bowl with scrambled egg, wet and dry cat food, cooked black beans, starter/grower and wild bird seed with boss. I give them a few scoops of it every other day or so to help them along with the molt. My Welly on the back left used to have a big beautiful tail like my EE on the right.
When I googled Speckled Sussex this pic came up. Looks just like mine.
