4 Egg Day





The two NHReds are laying eggs like clockwork, one egg a day each at about 10am. Mandy brought the kids up to stay all night around 2pm and of course they had to go into the coop. I went in and found a white egg there. It was cold and I don't know who layed it or when. I've been out of it all day (here's some advice; don't eat a turkey leg that Steve drops off to you in a Quick Trip parking lot, that he got free at the car auction). Anyway the BardRock was acting crazy, as she has been for a few days (I told Steve I thought she would be laying any time) but they don't lay white eggs so I knew it wasn't her's. After a bit Steve caged her in the laying box just to see what she would do. Sure enough, in half an hour I checked on her and she had a cream colored egg. The white egg is probably from one of the Brown Leghorns. For here on out I'll probably be seeing 4-8 eggs a day.




Besides collecting eggs, the kids rode the 4-wheeler, played with chickens/turkey, and helped gather walnuts.
