Windy hill chickens - first flock(s) of my own

I concur; that's what my NG's eggs looked like. Also had a large yolk relative to albumen, fwiw.

I've had a few Sussex eggs that were quite pale and narrow but not that pale and narrow. She's 25 weeks old today, I think.

I was late going up to check on them and top up food today (they did have some, they weren't starving) and wifey came and met me down at the polytunnel. Hope she hadn't been roaming around eating people's veg for too long and isn't going to make a habit of that…

I’ve lost track - which one is wifey again? Unless your love life has suddenly taken off or something.

I've tried explaining why it won't work but she's still absolutely determined to have my babies.

Though the little chickens are almost as big as her now! This was four days ago and they're growing like weeds, so there'll already be even less of a difference than here.

One of those RIR pullets looks more like a game bird at the moment - she's about 90% legs.
