July 13, 2008

So I was madly running all about yesterday trying to get my nesting box ready for the hens since they started laying already. And, while I was building said box, Clementine started clucking and wiggling her butt. I thought it was because I was in her house but nope. I watched her lay an egg. And then two more appeared before the end of the day. Five eggs in one day. All brown so Bossy P isn’t pulling her weight just yet (hers will be blue and green).

There’s nothing like farm fresh eggs! We get them from some friends every week. The color difference is amazing and they last forever. The easter egg chicken eggs are way cool.

How exciting! I can’t wait until I’m able to have my own chickens. Hopefully soon!

I cannot believe you got to see an egg come out of a chicken butt. Jeez, you are a lucky.

Sooooo pretty! I have to ask, do they taste different than the ones you would get at the store? (I assume yes, but want some quantifiable data to back me up… lol.)

I checked, and I can’t have chickens in my city. Blah.
