How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

13 yesterday!

Tilly is now just trying to sit on ANY egg, instead of just the one nest -- except she is ignoring the fake eggs that are in a couple of the nests. So she's clearly not cut out for this lol

I cannot give her any chicks @Ponypoor as TSC hasn't started selling them yet and no one on Craigslist has any, either.

We don't need any more chickens at all (but we have loads of room), we just were willing to let Tilly be broody if she wanted to. But she kinda sucks at it so once her 21 days are up, if she doesn't chill out we will break her.
 
So far 10 fresh ones and 9 fresh/frozen from one EE who decided to be sneaky.

My pullet picture attached, her egg is getting bigger each week. The first week of her egg laying was weighing 40gm, it has been steady gaining in size, yesterday her egg was 49gm.
I hope it does not get any bigger.
The chocolate colour is her egg. Her parents are Isa Brown. She does not look like an Isa brown. The egg photo is an old photo

Oh I feel your happiness there! I like when they go to bed early hahaha.

Summer time it doesn’t get dark until almost 10pm and the youngsters just don’t want to go to bed! The older ones are happy to go to bed though. Like me!

Today I got 21 eggs - once it turns hot they will slow up and possibly stop all together. But right now they are all starting up with laying.
Wow, it does not get dark until almost 10pm, that is a long day. I imagine I can do many things with a long day light, but I do not have the energy to do it.

Me too, I want to go in my cooper early, but the kids are still wanting to hang out when the sun still out.

It is so heavenly to sleep in and in the house earlier in the evening....My feather kids do keep me on my toes all the time.

The non chicken people are most likely say...they are just chickens! Yeah, only by appearances.....😁
 
Still, she ls gorgeous ♥️ I have a fondness for the barred patterns and funky combs and wattles.
Thanks! I agree! I wish there were more cuckoo patterned breeds available from hatcheries that looked like her. I love how dark she is with just little polka dots of white. Her comb and wattles are so small compared to even my pullets, I have no idea why, but it suits her anyway. She is also my only girl with golden eyes, and I think they’re so lovely.:love
