| First eggs - green Ameraucana & light brown buff |
After just over 5 months, we'd like to announce the laying of the first eggs! Mary (Ameraucana hen) and one of the Buff Orpington hens, probably Julie, laid their first eggs this past Friday and have been keeping up steady production ever since. Woohoo! We had suspected Mary was "thinking egg laying thoughts" (as youngest puts it) the day before, since she had hollowed out a nest sized hole in their dust bath area and was refusing to leave it to frolic with the rest of the flock or eat. And sure enough, she laid her first light green gem the next day.
