Sunny Layed an egg!

Our chickens are finally consistently Laying eggs! We started getting One egg every two to three days about the end of September and recently have been getting two to three eggs every day to every other day until Today!!!!!.....

This is sunny our Easter egg layer and the producer of the light pastel green egg shown bellow (looks more green in person) All of our chickens we knew would lay brown eggs except for sunny. Easter Egg Layers can lay either green, pink, blue, and sometimes white (thus the name) You never know what color egg they're going to lay until they do and then it will always be that color. So I was greatly anticipating the day her egg would arrive hoping that it would be colored. We were so excited about our discovery and Devin announced right away " Sunny lay ed an egg!" Before I took this pic he said to Sunny "Good girl Sunny you lay ed an egg!"

We were also surprised to find six eggs! Finally it looks like our chickens will be more than just pets who destroy my garden, poop on the deck and hawler down at me when they want me to let them out. Oh and it's always fun trying to get them out of the trees when they need to go home for the night! That was until I discovered how much they love chicken scratch hee hee!

So I thought I would share about how we or I should say Devin collects the eggs.
First I have to open the roof over the nests, then Devin and I look for and count the eggs then he grabs them

Next he examines and compares the eggs



Today since we had six eggs I told him to run down and get us an egg carton (knowing that we had an empty one on the table) When he returned he had his backpack and had brought the egg carton from the refrigerator! which already had four eggs in it (not all eggs shown in this pic) He placed the new eggs in it.




Then loaded it into his backpack

Finally we head down to put the eggs away

Then go back up to give the chickens some more food. Oh and we finally named all nine chickens. They are Sunny, Ruby, Furbie aka cluck-cluck, Polly, Susie, Sally, Grace aka Gracie, Gretchen, and Rose.
Our tenth chicken was a rooster renamed Nico, he is greatly missed by Devin and I. Rest in peace Nico. I'll try to post more pics soon of these gals and some baby pics.

I think we probably have enjoyed two dozen (maybe more I should have kept track) eggs so far! Thank you gals for the eggs they are Delicious!
