Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

I meant dirty chicken butt eggs. Amazing how my phone thinks it knows what I mean to say better than I do. We went on an annual pilgrimage today and I took a couple of crummy pictures into order to pretend to be as good as Cheeka...







The babies Mortie. It's hard to get a picture of them all without one making a weird face...

Beautiful pictures and kids Mortie!! Stargazers are my favorite flower!!

Ok so we got one egg today but as my youngest was carrying it to show her sister, SPLAT! All over my floor :'( Then I had to console her she wad very upset.

Mortie, trust me, those "not perfect" pictures of your kids will be the most special in 20 years. I wish I had a series of pictures like that, what a great idea!

I predict Lucy will lay her 6th tomorrow and take a break. Then by Sunday I will get 2 in one day. We shall see.

I am hoping to get a 3 egg day before I go on vacation. That would be great . Course...I need to have some more 2 egg days first! Come on girls!

Oh tn I have heard of that happening a lot poor kiddo.

Sorry for the late post... It was a day from you know where at work! We got 10 today!

So I get up this morning at 7 and I stumble out (literally. Stumble.) to see what's going on in the nest boxes. My expectation is that I will find Penny's egg because I can never get up early enough to catch her laying, and Wilson's will come along later.

Open the box and find Wilson's egg and nothing from Penny. I scoop up Wil's and toss them some food (feeder's in the shop) and I give Penny a disapproving look. I go in the house and put my egg in the holder and continue to the sink to get a drink and out the window I can see Penny. Hopping into the box. Really?! If she'd have done it 20 minutes earlier or I'd slept 20 minutes or so longer, I would have had my first 2 eggs at a time collection. Bah humbug. At least it looks like we'll be getting 2 eggs today. Yum!

Mom was so proud she made us two pies
So we gave her a mighty surprise
After a big day of laying nine
We then laid eight, which was might fine!

Eight, eight, hurray for eight

Either I have a very prolific Polish layer, which I have heard is kind of unusual, my Leghorn is laying peanut sized eggs. We have been getting either one a day or every other day for the past week. You can see on my skelter how much smaller they are:


@mortie Yea for 2 eggs! One step at a time! Adorable kids!!!!

Your pie is adorable! I don't know a thing about polish or leghorns or bitty white eggs, b ut I love your collection on your skelter. I need to get one.
