Its official, the first dozen eggs are laid! Farm fresh, free range, wholesome goodness! Now to eat them. These were laid by my two NH Reds, or as I like to call them, Sally and Jess.Sally laid all the near row, and on the back row the three darker ones are Sally's and the lighter ones are Jess'. Jess had three other eggs but she laid them under the roost into poop before she got the method down of laying eggs in the nesting box. Now she is doing great, in fact her eggs are bigger overall and she lays much faster. Sally will spend forever sitting in the nesting box before she lays, but she does announce the fact with much more flair and loudness.
This morning when I went to check on the chicks and for eggs both Sally and Jess were in the same nesting box. What was that about?? I moved Jess to the box next door and she laid an egg in 2 minutes. Sally stayed in her box and laid an egg 40 minutes later. Go figure.
The BIG news everyone is talking about is the new temple that will be built in the Shoal Creek area. I always knew the northland was way more righteous than those south of the river :). The only downside to the temple being built here is there is no Russel Stover Outlet between me and the temple. Oh the sacrifices I make!
