They arrive in the mail. You feed them, you give them treats, and then that funny day comes when they give you something back. Eggs! The first to lay was Elmer the Silkie almost exactly a month ago, with cute tiny brown eggs.
She has laid an egg almost ever day since then. And then today I go out and what do I find in the nesting box? A much bigger olive green egg! It's from Clover the Easter Egger. My funny giant chicken that greedily hops on my arm for food each morning.
Today's eggs: Elmer's on the left and Clover's on the right.
Now I am really curious to see when the other three start laying…

Oh I love Hens! We just moved out to an acreage this past autumn and are looking forward to getting some nice red layers in the spring! FUN! My son is going to flip out when he gets to feed them scraps!
