chicken police

No, not our chickens, just a cute video.

do you love eggs?

Emma sent me the link for this, I loved it, I think you will too. Thanks Emma!

Here is the link for the original site, the sound quality is much better.

broody Patsy with Gimpy

Patsy has been broody for about a week, every time we go out to the coop we boot her off the nest box and she fluff up like a turkey and struts around . . . silly chicken.

something in the water?

It was Gimpy's turn to lay a huge egg today. Now it isn't as large as the one Naomi laid last week, but above average for sure. Must be something in the water . . .

double yolker

Well, it was a double yolker. Two full size yolks instead of the smaller yolks in a usual double yolk egg. Hannah asked, so I made her a one egg omelet.

ouch!

On the right is one of Naomi's regular eggs, equal to about an extra-large or jumbo store egg. On the left is the one she laid today. It's at least a double yoker, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were a triple.

peek-a-duck*

Yesterday morning this is what greeted me when I walked into the dining room. Aren't they adorable?

*thanks, jen, for the post title.
** not sure why the video didn't work the first time, sorry 'bout that.
