It was worth going out to the coop a couple of times today... I had two first-time layers! Fun to find new eggs. They hatched at the same time last September, but two totally different breeds: A Trader Joe's and a CCLxRIR mix. How cool is that?

More coffee, please!

Yay for first-time layers!!!!
One of my NHs laid her first egg yesterday. Did I post a pic here? Lemme check.....Nope.

Well, here it is!!!


It's small, but it took her all morning and half the afternoon to lay it. lol She knew something was going on, she didn't leave the back porch (where the nest boxes are). Hopefully, the other three girls in her set will start laying by the end of this month. And further hopefully, the nine girls in the second set will start laying by the end of next month (they're four weeks younger than the first set). That'll be a big boost to my egg production (as long as everyone's laying where I can steal their eggs, that is).

My crazy chickens have kept us pretty much buried in eggs all winter
Been giving eggs to everyone! Wish I would have known my Aussies were going to turn into laying machines so soon, I would have lined up a customer or two.
Had one friend I was selling to but she goes to Arizona for the winter.

Congratulations! Too many eggs is a great problem to have.

Quote: LOL... the leap was taken when he was offered a letter of recommendation to go for his MFA... in Writing.

He maxed out on math and couldnt concentrate on the quantam physics end. for a BS in Astronomy you have to minor in math. Some of those math classes arent even taken by Math majors. He was having anxiety attacks over the math. so I suggested he could change his major to a BA in Astronomy. there was only one more math class he needed for that and it was too much. So he took a creative writing class in order to cope with the math class and it was that one teacher that offered him the letter of recommendation.

He had NEVER considered writing, before. while taking the creative writing class he entered in an online contest called Nanorimo... where the challenge was to write 50,000 word novella in one month. He completed that... he entered some of that as an assignment for the Creative Writing class and the teacher offered the letter.

All he has to do is finish a Bachelors degree. Hes always been interested in why people do things so he read up on the Sociology and thought it might be a good fit. outside of the fact that it irritates him to be in with a "bunch a High schoolers" hes learning lots .... Hes one who used to read the books cover to cover before the classes would even start. Hes back to that again.... Yay.

You NEVER loose out on what you learn it will Always serve you one day. So no he has to take one statistics class which has the others nervous..... he just says Pthtth you wanna see statistics Look at a few data sets from the Keppler array. So he will do good feel good about the out come i am sure.

So far hes kept a B+ average all the time hes gone to SDSU... enough to keep him in Grant money as long as that lasts... I think there is a limitation on the amount of semesters... Not sure about that.

IDK what MFA stands for or SDSU (although I'm sure they're completely common and I should know).

Congrats to him on the letter!!! Yeah, I'm maxed out on math too (and I'm just teaching my first grader to add and subtract). lol I'm taking Statistics for Social Sciences this semester; the math part is all done by the program, the hard part for me is learning how to use the program. But I'm learning it, so hopefully the B- I have right now will come up.
No, you never lose when you learn something. I just meant that I have a bunch of courses that aren't going to count toward my degree (unless I go into the psychology of the physical science of visual arts lol).
Yeah, I know what you mean about the "bunch of high schoolers". I'm 36. The writing is on a level below that of my own teenagers, forget high school, and college level writing is too much to hope for; I'm lucky if I can find one fellow student in any given course that can actually write on a college level.

I certainly wish him all the best in his academic endevours.
