I thought an egg carton might be a bit better of a scale than my little hands.

Dinner was yummy last night, fried egg on toast. The big one on the end was a double yolker!

I am happy, now I just have to figure out what to do with all the eggs when the rest of them start laying.

If you have a bunch of birds that lay light brown eggs, how do you tell who laid what?

In Tacoma, it is as many as you want, as long as none of them are roosters.

I could lend Ron one of my bators too. That way he could have a lot of white egg layers.

OOOOh nooo I don't think my bator works for white eggers.

That's ok, if he buys my auction, there will be NO white eggs!

Your big one looks like a regular size. What breed are they?

I sat there and watched one pullet go through all five nest boxes looking for a good place to set, so I left her alone to lay. I came back a couple of hours later and there was no egg. There would be a lot of pictures on the game cam, not sure how many would be the layers.

Ooh, I love that coop, I've seen it before. They've dropped their price A LOT. They were originally asking $2500 if memory serves....
