Found this lil tiny egg in the nest this morning :gig I have a mixed flock of staggered she's so not sure who's! See what happens when I'm too busy to stalk nestboxes!

Her sister is sitting in the nest now...I'm stalking chickens :gig

Found a new dark brown egg in the nest box! So egg-cited! One of these girls laid it. They are chicks from 1st week in march :)

Chop up Kale really fine and feed a 1/2 cup a day. Hard shells in no time if its a deficiency. I feed fermented feed and will sprinkle some on their breakfast serving.

Gorgeous!

EEs can lay an array of colors depending on the history of the parents. Hatcheries like to breed for colors like green and blue when they can, it sells chicks. They'll lay Shades of Greens, blues, pinks, browns and tinted whites. Until they are laying it is a surprise. This thread has awesome...

Waiting on eggs from these two New girls...Maran & an EE...here's hoping for new shades! Lol

Awwww! I love their names :) hehehe Show cracks me up.
