After the Egg Wash...
Let's talk about my newest girls. In the early spring, we got a new brood of baby chicks. 12 of them, all different than we have ever had before...6 Araucana
which lay colored eggs from light blue to olive green...2 White Silkies...teeny weeny beige eggs, they are bantam chicks and I just discovered, one is a rooster...and 4 Cochin...they lay brown eggs and have furry feet as do the Silkies...plus we still have 7 chickens from two years ago...5 hens...who lay white eggs when they feel the need and then my boys...2 Roosters..Alexandro and Budweiser...lovely in color, the guys usually are, reds-golds-iridescent-greens and blues...they are the nicest roosters, such Gentlemen, they wait for all the girls to come out of the small run into the larger, they never go first and when it's time to go back into the coop...they are the last to enter...making sure all the girls are okay!! It is so cute to watch them...Since the girls started laying, they have been very productive. We usually have 2 dozen eggs in the fridge all the time but has been upwards of 8 dozen!! Always ask, they are for sale...You will never eat a store bought egg again once you've had home grown!!! Well, enjoy the pics...
