Ooooohhhh! So beautiful! And it looks green on the screen, which would be EE. They will get bigger, but it takes a while. My youngest EE still has dainty eggs, but they are getting larger every week. She's still very regular, even with the winter hours.
 
You know you're a crazy chicken lady when you have too many cockerels as it is, but you still operate on one to save it.

In all seriousness, as a warning to others to learn from my stupidity, I had put a zip tie on this chicks leg when it was a baby. I didn't think i had used any ties this year, and under all those feathers, I forgot about it. Until i caught him limping. Oops, zip tie was wayyyy tight, about to cut off circulation. But i operated on him and got it cut off.
He's enjoying lounging in the house while he heals up.
 
Thanksgiving In-law Update:

My Sweetie went to his parent's house without me (for which I am SO thankful).
All the guests, except for Sweetie were 1-3 hours late. He was on time.
His brother showed up already wasted (as usual).
Brother's girlfriend, who looks like a female "Sting" (from the Police) would not acknowledge my Sweetie (she's always like this), but she sipped from her "juice" bottle, and got even more surly, and then stumbled around in the kitchen.
Sweetie's dad got madder and madder as the brother and girlfriend got drunker and drunker.
Sweetie's daughter didn't show up -- her uncle (see drunk brother above) was so wasted *last* Thanksgiving that he didn't recognize his own niece, and began hitting on her, so daughter decided to "get sick" this year.
Mean Grandma was still alive and still mean.
There was no canned spinach! My mean comments must have made it round to Sweetie's mom and shamed her into making broccoli instead.
Sweetie played Angry Birds on his phone a lot, and smirked as his dad was hollering at brother passed out on the couch.
He then inhaled dessert, grabbed his trolling motor and chainsaw (the real reason he showed up), and drove home.

No one even asked, "Hey, where's Killer Tomato?" even though I was invited. Sweetie said they could tell he was one step away from reaming them a new one, so they decided not to "go there".

That's so festive! Your coop looks better than any house I've lived in. Ever. Nice job, Martha Stewart!

LOL..."Martha Stewart"...that is what my husband calls me when I get crafty! I told him I wanted some kind of Christmas chicken light to hang on the coop porch...he was like look Martha...you are going to have to make one because WalMart doesn't sell those! So, I made one! He just shook his head and laughed when he saw me cutting out reindeer antlers and a red Rudolph nose to put on the rooster silhouette on that light. I know...I'm not right...but I'm OK with it ;)

Here is a close up of the light...

My sister *really* does up her house at Christmas, and has done so since forever (30 something years). She has the complete light-up village set, trains, everything. The first year she did this, I walked in and said, "Whoa! It's like Martha Stewart -- on speed!"

She embraces the nickname too!

You go, girls!
 
I'm sorry that is adorable,totally a crazy chicken lady thing to do but adorable. :)

That light is just gorgeous. You could have a serious side business on "Etsy" or something!
