I think another of my chickens laid an egg today.

Ok, I'm sure a chicken laid an egg, cuz it was too big for a robin....but I mean a NEW LAYER....unless, of course, the silkie FINALLY found the nest box....but since she was sitting her usual corner and the egg is bigger than her usual, I think it is a NEW layer....

Just in time for winter.

But another egg is a good thing....means the plumbing is all working right, right?

Woot! New eggs are great. I am getting tiny little new eggs every day now, which is great since my bigger birds are slowing down. My leghorns keep popping out those jumbo whites but everyone else is sluggish.l 19 eggs today, 10 from my new layers.

Great that the young ones are laying. What's your secret? Some of my original flock, purchased at 7 weeks in MAY still aren't laying.

I am seriously considering getting 4 production RIR or something like that so I have the joy of an egg every day. I am going through a bag of feed A WEEK and only about a dozen eggs a week. That's one darn expensive dozen eggs.
