Ok. Is it normal for a chicken to have an egg this size!? I don't know if I should be concerned, or not? Only had chickens for a year.. Just thought I would ask.

I have some red sex links that regularly drop bombs that size. I do worry because they’re still pullets. If they survive this egg laying cycle, how much bigger can they be?

Sorry was off yesterday in bad way .. We took a short run to Costco .. Coming away we get 10 miles down the freeway, had a tire go flat one that we just bought from les schwab paid 300 for the two..
They did replace the tire took a screw in the sidewall ..
Takes 3 hours ss they are busy. Mind you Kia does not carry spares but a funky can of sealant and a little air compessor. It did get us to centralia 20 miles away goes flat again.
Came home made dinner slept way too late this morning

Morning, all!

Sunny and 40 at present, but to hit 65 today. Tomorrow we spike to mid-70's. The rest of the week is sunny and 60's with zero chance of precip.

Garden time! Mowed the lawn for the first time this year yesterday as DH was complaining that picking up dog poop was more like an extraction. He proclaimed the push mower deader than a doornail at end of season last year, but -- miraculously -- it fired up first cord pull. Needed a woman's touch, I guess.

Delighted to see little spinach spears emerging. Need to replant the beet bed, but bits of green might indicate some peas are going to come play afterall. (Still, there'll be overplanting just to make sure there's a harvest.)

17 chicks in the brooders and 24 eggs in the incubator. DH making noises that we have chickens all over the house. Okay, to be fair -- and I'll own it -- there is an egg turner in the dining room, incubators/hatchers in two guest bedrooms, a large brooder in the garage. Well, there's worse vices; right?

Chicken math- gotta love it

Morning ya'll. Just working in the house today. Gonna do some cooking and freezing casseroles, I think. Also need to dust mop the living room and dining room floors.
Slow day today- had nightmares all night- mainly revolving around some pit bulls getting my chickens- no pit bulls within my enclosed privacy fence and fenced chicken yard, so what was that about?? Anyway, just woke up sort of upset this morning. Had some coffee and butter with jam sandwich this AM.

I had a weird dream too. I was glad the alarm went off.

Sometimes they over achieve.

Ouch!

Ouch, indeed.

Every now and then I guess we all have the nightmares sometimes
