The eggs do get bigger on most large breed chickens a Dom should be about a BR sized egg, mine never layed small eggs 1 or 2 pullet eggs and then it was monster double yolkers, for a week or so then they leveled out to normal....... I have heard after there first molt the eggs get pretty big, and that has been true here for those that layed a smaller size egg to begin with Except my SS, they lay a medium sized egg, and it has stayed that way since they started......... I don't think there eggs are any uglier than any other, color is a no big deal here, as long as they taste good and ain't full of yuck or blood, I'm happy.
I love my SS they are my friendliest birds, very vocal, always telling me hey I need a treat, or scratch me here, Snowflake my lost hen who made it, is the silliest chicken...... I think I trip over her more than any other chicken of my flock she is always under my feet, and the second I open the door she is the first to come running...... they are not huge chickens next to my Dels, or BO, but they ain't bantys either. They lay well and will eat just about anything, so good forager to boot. If I had more room I would hatch more of them, size wise they will be ok for butchering,the roos we did were not bad, but not like my Dels, or BRs..
So anyway Not much new here, my silly horses have cleaned off the ice patch by licking so I still have a skate rink out there, I salted it then threw sand and mixed debri off the barn floor over the top, so it would freeze down and give them some grip, but they are idiots, licking at it half the day, and it sure shouldn't be for extra salt, they have 2 block's out plus they get 2 Tbls, in the supper ration of complete feed, so WTH? is up with them who's knows.
Adam is on his way home from Mi. should be home this afternoon, because he has to get his truck fixed again, apparently the heater thing is from a short, which they didn't find last time and it quit on him again this week in TN, plus his radio keeps going off, so he has no CB to chat on half the time, so he is hauling it in for work....making another short week, but he did add up about 2000 miles so far this week, so maybe we will Actually get a pay check next week..... one I can do something with......... 100 bucks a week just ain't cutting it, he got more from UI......... argggggg just can't seem to win. so anyway that's all the news from here,
