chicken problems
Not original. I pinched this off one of the many chicken groups of which I am an unashamed member.
I think all the eggs I’m getting from the new girls are coming from Jenny. She’s the only one I ever see on the nest. But damn, she churns one out almost every day. She’s the one that looks most like Lucia, too, so it’s no surprise she’s a superstar.
All my little peckerheads are doing well and loving the Summer.
Another weekend of good stuff lined up. I’ll report back next week. Have a good one!

Are the old girls producing?

One a day? That’s a lot of work for such a small creature. How big are the eggs?
Eggs are massively on sale around here – $0.79/dozen for extra-large (50 gram). Cranking one of those out in a single day???

Little girls make little eggs. Smaller than a small hen’s egg.
The big girls, all together, lay as much as Jenny. Not quite one a day. But that’s how it works – the older they get, the fewer eggs they lay, but the eggs get bigger.
