The girls gave me 11 eggs yesterday, from only 13 hens that lay a light brown egg!  I wish my Welsummer would get back to laying, though.  She is my favorite! 

Lucky! About a month ago, I had 3 dozen eggs in my fridge from five pullets and decided it was time to sell to my coworkers. That day that I cleared out the extras all but one of my girls (the BR) stopped laying! It has been a month now, how much longer will it take? I have resorted to buying expensive eggs with cool cartons I can recycle. LOL.

I have been getting an egg from my Basque pen that is very nice. The third of my Easter Hatch Pullets from last year is laying!

Wow!

I hate when that happens! My Barred Rock has been our best winter layer too although she took several weeks off. I've been hanging onto the store bought egg cartons too in hopes that by spring I'll actually have enough extra eggs to sell. Here's what my basket of eggs looks like lately. I only get about 2 or 3 eggs per day so they add up unless we eat them everyday.

I agree, it's got to be a girl..........how pretty!

I finally got a picture of Mysty Blues & Mr. Puff's baby chicks. They are so precious. I put them in a pink container this time -hoping for all girls.

It looks like 1 splash and 3 "light" blues!

I have an order coming in March of 25 chicks from Sandhill (that I ordered last year and they could not fulfill).  If anyone wants to squeeze chicks in on that order,  we can see if they can accommodate.  Probably unlikely but may be worth a shot.  

Also,  I am getting Noregian Jaerhons in that order   that I no longer  want.  Happy to sell them at cost to anyone interested.   I need to find the order, but if I am not mistaken I am getting (5) reg and (5) flame.  I ordered them Jan 2012 so my memory is fuzzy.  I did get a letter from SH in December saying that they would ship my order in March 2013.  I just need to find where I put that letter. If anyone is interested in Jaerhons - PM me and I will give you details.  

I'm sure someone will jump on that...I have them....mine are laying now. I am currently incubating there eggs. I love mine. Auto sex! They are a smaller chicken that lay nice size cream eggs. The food egg Ratio is great...

Store bought eggs = yuck. Your egg basket looks yummy. I just ate 8 banty eggs for breakfast this morning, and blew out the shells to make easter egg tree ornaments.

Baby Silkies = cutest of the cutest fluffy butts!

I am reading up on the Partridge Silkies.. and was wondering - are any of those partridge? I think I am seeing "chipmunk" looks on the back of the one with her rear to the camera - do they have any "eyeliner"?

Just too dang CUTE!
