Wish I could be planting in the garden...we still have water standing in the yard and have to use 4-wheel drive to get in and out of our farm.

Hopefully a few more days of this beautiful sunshine and we can mow and plant...

At least it will be nice so we can get our chicken and duck pens and coops finished so that we'll be ready for getting our birds at POOPS!

Supposed to get 2 dozen guinea eggs for the incubator this weekend, can't wait!

Hope everyone is enjoying this sunshine. I'm fixing to go start dinner and make some Mexican Painted cookies for my 2nd grader's Cinco de Mayo fiesta at school tomorrow.

One of my partridge hens layed a mini egg today. It is only 1" x 7/8". I had never seen one before so I took it over to Jack's. He said it occasionally happens and is no big deal. I ask what it is called and he said, "an egg".

Here it is with a couple of bantam eggs -

Isn't there a new color out now,something like calico or painted or some odd name. I have seen them advertised but can't think of the right name now. Maybe Betsy will know,she is the silkie guru!(or is that guruess for femine!)lol

I would expect that response from Jack and he probably said it with a grin. We call the little ones Egg Farts LOL.
