Peggy started laying again a few weeks ago, but Tina still hadn't produced an egg until last week. As you can see by the photo below, she decided to get back to laying in a big way.
That is Tina's HUGE egg on the right. On the left, for comparison, is a store-bought grade A normal-sized chicken egg. Tina's is essentially twice the size of the store egg. Clearly, she had been saving up all her egg-making powers so she could wow me on her return to production. It worked.
Now, Tina is back to a roughly 4-egg-a-week schedule, as is Peggy. That suits us fairly well, although it doesn't provide enough eggs to do any serious baking. I have plans in the works to solve this little dilemma, but more on that later...
Pretty Egg...
Nice. That isn't a blue egg, is it? Are Peggy's eggs all brown?
Tina's egg, the one on the right, is actually pink. She's a black sex-link and she always lays pretty pink eggss. The brown egg on the right is from the store. Peggy's eggs (not pictured) are light green.
Light green, huh? We're just getting brown from our Easter Egger. But we'll take them! :-)
