Official Squatch Watchers

Good morning everybody :frow

It’s shot day #1 for me. Missed my coffee this morning and drinking green tea. I love tea, but it’s just not the same.
:frow Good morning Fishy, have a great day... I have to be in the mood for green tea.

Good morning Fishy 😊 have a great hump day. Green tea does things to my body that are not good. It takes at least a week before I'm feeling normal again. I'll stick with coffee or juice.
 
I totally get it. To handle Rita for checks I best grab her off the roost first. Even my crazy California Whites/Austra Whites are more easy to handle.
Leghorns can be like that, too. I have 2 brown Leghorns for the big white eggs. They have been handled a lot, the little girl nextdoor loves to hold the chicks. The Leghorns will not let me pick them up, but they will hop up on my lap for treats! That is as tame as I have ever had. The Barred Hollands will squat down and let me pick them up. The rooster does not approve of this but has not ever gone after me for it.:)
 
My husband got shot #1 yesterday! :wee

We are starting to get a lot of eggs, 10 eggs from the 10 older birds yesterday. Young pullets are just starting, 3 little eggs from the 5 of them. In the photo you can see one of the small cream colored eggs from the younger girls. The green egg is from a 1/2 Naked Neck 1/2 Cream Legbar bird that I got from a fellow AZ BYCer. She is a nice bird, not nervous, and low on the pecking order. I am getting 2 more like her tomorrow from another AZ chicken person who needs to downsize. She got them from the same hatching. The white NN in the last photo lays the green eggs.

Nice on the eggs 😁 you have pretty colors there.

We don't normally get eggs in the winter, but our girls went crazy laying eggs this time. We have 12 or 13 girls and they were giving us 50+ eggs a week 😲

I like getting chicks later in the year, then they start laying that winter. The chicks I got in June were just starting laying right around Thanksgiving.

Wow, that's perfect and you don't have to do the walk of shame buying eggs. I won't , you want eggs the you buy them.

I did the walk of shame. 🥺

I learned that I best keep young layers on hand so I don't have to do it again.
 
Good afternoon everyone.
Good morning everyone.
☕☕☕ must have caffeine.

Wishing everyone a great day.
I want caffeine but I can't have it right now. I'll probably start chugging my black tea again as soon as baby comes.

I can't drink green tea either. It makes my mouth feel funny and I get a headache. Not quite "go numb" like shellfish makes my mouth, but a little like that. So I avoid it like the plague.
