Easter Egger club!

[WesternSky]

12 EE Bantam girls...Juliette, Rosie, Angel, Pearl, Grace, AnnMarie, Rita, Agnes, Mabel and three that I still need to name once I find distinguishing differences. I love these girls, they are all very sweet and have started laying.



My 9 EE Bantam chicks; picture was taken approx. 6 months ago.





Pearl at about 3 weeks old. She is the little one in the middle of the feeder in the above picture.



Grace/Gracie, one of the little chicks in the first picture.



Juliette, one of the oldest 3. My oldest three are Juliette (pictured), Rosie and Angel.



In the run

They are adorable! It looks like they've got an excellent pen.

Thank you. I had a vision of what I wanted the brooder, run and coop to look like, my boyfriend and I built it all from my vision and his. It helped that we already had the old building being used for storage before we cleaned it all out and turned it into a coop. After cleaning it up and doing some work on the inside, we built an attached run. The tree branches were just lying around out here and we thought the one in the picture was great because of the different levels it gives the girls to perch from. It is always a work in progress. I still have to get the curtains made and some other little finishing touches done to the outside, the vision isn't complete yet.

I do want to share one of the mistakes we made...we used paneling inside the coop for the walls, since the air in NM is dryer, we didn't think much about warping during the moister months...well, it has warped and has since remained kinda warped, we are going to replace it all with plywood when we get the chance...it looked so nice in there until it warped :-(

Lizzy (Elizabeth Elaine the Easter Egger) laid her first egg two days shy of 25 weeks. She skipped a day (Tuesday) and has laid eggs the last two days. And in the nest box. What a good girl.

and her first 3 eggs - a grey/green
(appears to me on my iPad as perhaps EAFAF1 on the html color code chart)

Lizzy is beautiful!!! What a good girl, laying her pretty eggs in the nest box.

Wood sheets on the thinner side have the tendency to warp as we found out the hard way too.
