Oh my gosh you guys!!!

Pumpkin laid another egg today, and so did Petunia!

Now get this... Petunia's egg was cracked, so I decided I'd use it right away and bake a cake since I had three eggs. I finshed cracking Petunia's egg into a bowl...

It was a double yolk! Small yolks, for sure... but a double!

Then I cracked Pumpkin's egg from today into the bowl...

DOUBLE YOLK AGAIN!!!

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL...

Yep, you guessed it! I cracked Pumpkin's egg from yesterday into the bowl, and...

I couldn't believe it!! Wow!

Congrats on the egg! I too have 2 chickens with the same names as yours! My Pumpkin is a Buff Orp. and my Petunia is a Barred Rock. I just love them!

 

[cindyanne1]

Thank you!

I'm really excited... and this is only the beginning!

I'm still floored over all of those double-yolk eggs!

Very exciting!

I have a Petunia, too! She is a dark cornish. I just got some hens, so now I am actually getting more than one egg a day!

Do you mind if I borrow Pumpkin's name for one of my chickens that I just got? None of them have any names and Pumpkin is a perfect name for that color!

Congratulations!

Shelly... of course I don't mind if you use the name Pumpkin!

You're right it is a perfect name for that color! I have three red stars but they are all slightly different in coloring. The lightest one is Pumpkin... then there's one who is mottled with lots of white like her but with darker red color, and that's Spice. The one that has the least white on her is Cinnamon.

We're feeding them just regular grower feed that you get from TSC and just now switched to layer feed.

They also get lots of pasture time and fruits and veggies.

Thanks!

The boys (8 & 10) LOVED the name Pumpkin, and decided to continue the theme with her "sister" we got, and named her Mango! LOL! 3 down, 11 to go! LOL!

Congrats again on the eggs. It is really exciting!

Woo Hoo! Congratulations! Those little Red Stars are great layers!

I've had multiple double yolks from my ladies too. Aren't fresh eggs so beautiful and yummy?

Store bought eggs are so pale in comparison.
