Colorful eggs

I couldn't pass up the chance to show you some of the beautiful eggs the hens have been laying. Aren't they gorgeous? I'm getting the biggest kick out of checking to see what color they lay next. It makes tending the chickens a lot of fun.

So far the maximum number of eggs I've found in one day is 11. Since I have 15 hens, this is pretty good, although I think a couple of my hens still aren't laying. The good news is that a few of my hens are laying double yolked eggs!

I'll try to take some new photos of the chickens soon. I know I haven't updated the photos since they reached their full size. Some of them are quite beautiful.

Possum finally has the hang of being the head rooster. He's doing a great job of keeping the hen house running smoothly. I really like him. He doesn't crow his head off all day long, like Brewster did, but he crows in the morning just like he should. I dearly love to hear a rooster crowing in the morning.
