I see that, and she look's like she's really into it too! She's really grown since she left here!

Yeah! The sun went down! About an hour and a half before it did though, I was out there showing 3 of my yard rooster's where they missed a new patch of weed's that grew up after the rain. The 4th yard rooster stayed behind. They still roost at night on top of my chicken run.

So I’m assuming the triple and quad are rare right?? My black sex link girls regularly lay doubles

Very rare. I believe the record is 9 yolks in a single chicken egg...but not from any of my chickens, thank goodness. (Shoot...I'm having sympathy pains just thinking about that one.)

Quadruple yolker?! What breed did that?

One of my top laying Naked Neck girls when she first started laying. The egg was nearly 4 ounces. She's nearly 4 years old now and still lays 4-6 jumbo eggs per week. Her name is Lucky Charms because she was breech in her egg and I had to help her hatch....the first chick I ever rescued during hatch.

I'm glad that I got over disliking featherless necks. Now the NN's are my favorite. They handle heat much better, lay eggs well, and if for as a meat bird too there are no feather's on the neck that you have to cut through to cull them. Now that has to be less stressful for the culls.

Yes, our girl Cheryl the silkie is 5 year’s old & she was getting picked on from the new ducklings that are now grown up.. So I thought when she went broody I would give her 1 more flock to raise.. Only 2 day’s sitting on egg’s found 6 BBL E.E. & Araucana.. but yeah didn’t want more but for her, why not..I do miss having different looking chicken’s.. These all look the same.. I think out of 6, 5 are hen’s.. Will know in a few months..
