Eggs!


The chickens I got in October are finally starting to lay eggs. Not the Araucanas just yet, just the barred rocks. Still, though, we had 5 eggs one day and 4 eggs the next. Pretty soon we'll be swimming in them.

That's exciting! We had chickens off and on growing up. I hated them because I had to gather the eggs and feed them, and they'd peck me. But we had really, really stupid chickens.

My mom just got chickens again. Some neighbors were moving and offered them. Mom and Dad built a little coop. It's a pretty little bunch. My mom loves them. She says they sing when the sun is shining. :) They were in bad shape when she got them so she's only getting 3 eggs a day now, but she'll get more in no time, I'm sure.

Eggs really are versatile. You can never really have too many... at least if you have enemies. :)

Yeah, our three hens are laying now, too. It's awesome! I hadn't even realized how high the price of eggs had gotten in the stores. I was thinking they were still 0.69 a dozen. imslow.gif

We kept ours under the trampoline a couple summers ago (we had a fence around the tramp anyway so no kids would go under there and get smashed, plus we'd move it around the yard each time we mowed). The kids had to "crawl" under there about 10 feet to get to the doghouse (coop) and get the eggs. My oldest boy was being all tough and taunting the rooster like, "You wanna piece of me? Huh? Come on, you sorry chicken!" Anyhoo... he went in there and the rooster for some weird reason (do chickens have an ego? confuse.gif) totally jumped on his back! My son was screaming like a girl and ran outta' there so fast! His little sister and I were on the ground laughing. rofl.gif
