Eleven days ago one of the hens started laying. The eggs started out really small and got a little bigger each day. We got an egg Sunday and Monday, then she took a break for two days before starting again. The next two days the eggs were bigger and one even had two yolks! Saturday morning Terri scrambled up the first four eggs for breakfast, so good.After laying late on Saturday, Sadie took Sunday off and then has given us an egg the past three days in a row. The last two days the eggs are about the same size as the last store bought eggs.
So eight eggs in the first eleven days of laying is pretty good. It's time for some of the others to get with the program. Last week I started to mix the starter feed fifty-fifty with Purina layer pellets and I also put some oyster shells in a dish in the run.
