Its winter and my chickens are getting old. We have had these girls for about three years now and we are getting some strange eggs, it is amazing really they are still laying at all. We get about 3 eggs every 2 days from 4 chickens (which is chopping block time by my usual standards.) Last week it was like lucky dip, what kind of eggs are we going to get today?

| Lots of different colours... |
 |
| An enormous egg and a tiny, tiny little one... |
 |
| The biggest egg ever, normal size and the smallest egg ever. |
 |
| What a fabulous week of eggs, great work girls. |
So you can put the axe away for another week, hehe........
ReplyDeleteI have 3 girls who haven't laid an egg for several weeks, although it would appear by the colour of their combs that at least one should still be laying.
Anyhoo, Sunday morning there were 3 eggs in the nesting boxes. I thought someone had played a joke on me, but one was still warm......
All brown shelled, but 2 of the hens lay eggs with a few speckles on the shells.....so the mystery remains unsolved. Two of the eggs became breakfast and the girls were forgiven.....
