| from chick to pullet to... |
They've started laying!!!
It always make me smile when young chickens start to lay eggs. They start out really small...the eggs. Just a little bit smaller than a golf ball usually...then...over time...the eggs get bigger and bigger. Sometimes they go through a short double yoke stage too before they settle into "normal sized" egg layers.
It's a fun process. So long as I can keep the predators at bay...but that's info for a different post. I'm in the process now of "integrating" the old girls with the youngins in preparation for winter...when they have to be kept all in one barn together (because of the cold temps and snow).
So far so good...they all seem to be adjusting to the reordering of things.
I'll be posting here soon about our new rooster...who you can see in the background of the below image. More soon...
