Well don't tell him that he was RIGHT ON ACCIDENT!!! Hahaha! I do still have eggs on the counter from yesterday. I may put them back.

Happy Friday!!! We are all so, so ready for the weekend!

OK and happy Friday back too

Good mornin' La-yers and Bycers too

Mark the eggs so you can rotate the older and newer out. 10 days is about as long as I would leave any in there a week is even more the better. You then could still boil them and feed them back to the hens without the fear of having those dreadful sweating eggs (lil packages of TNT with added stinky to them)

LOL

My hubby tells me that if I want the bantams to get broody I should leave their eggs in there.......

What does he know about chickens anyway? I just figured if they want to get broody they will be staying in the box and be getting cranky with me.
Yeah its called clutching up and some hens that would naturally go broody from this action may never ever set on an egg in their lifetimes if they aren't allowed to clutch up a setting and then there are the determined ones that will continuously go broody out of the blue and set on golf balls till h3ll freezes over or they die from starvation or malnutrition.

I just wish those 2 of mine would hatch something. They are sure trying hard enough

Well I got the largest number of eggs today from this new flock, yay! 7 from the big girls and 3 from the bantams. My hubby tells me that if I want the bantams to get broody I should leave their eggs in there.......

What does he know about chickens anyway? I just figured if they want to get broody they will be staying in the box and be getting cranky with me. When I got the last egg from the bantams actually the roo was up there talking to the egg

I think he is a little of his rocker right now. When I let them out for the evening he actually came after me!!! What a little butthead!!! I scooped him up and held him upside down and he calmed almost instantly. I tucked him under my arm and continued about my business. My husband was pretty puzzled when he opened the back door to get eggs from me, and saw me with a chicken, upside down under my arm. Crazy little chicken scratched my leg! I told him that he better behave or I would be eating some black chicken for a dinner.

Tell him be careful (roo)...FREEZER CAMP!!! I'm jealous about the eggs. It's so exciting when you realize that someone else has started laying. What breed is your roo?

It should be a BEAUTIFUL weekend!!! I plan on spending lots of time outside in the morning and evening.
You write a colum? How do we find it? I would love read it.

He is a Silkie. I told him about the POT he would go into.......IF he doesn't behave! He doesn't even have any spurs. He just used his toe nail to scratch me I guess. Is sharpie ok to mark on the eggs? Or pencil.

Either/or pencil is more apt to rub off if I do use pencil and put it on the big end less contact area. lots of folk use ink or markers though.

I used a sharpie. Heck, it is hard enough just to get a peek at them much less risk your skin to pick them up often to see the pencil marks. all my eggs are dark
