In Which the Chickens Begin Laying Eggs

There are three things which are stately in their march,
Even four which are stately when they walk:
The lion which is mighty among beasts
And does not retreat before any,
The strutting rooster, the male goat also,
And a king when his army is with him. Proverbs 30:29-31

I love our chickens. I thought it would be the rabbits, but not so much. They have no personality compared to a chicken. And a hen has very little compared to a rooster--but I'll save that for another post.

Now when the hens start laying it takes some time for the eggs to find their shape, so to speak. We're getting about 3-4 eggs a day and you never know what they'll look like.

The left egg is fairly normal, although a smallish egg, but it's at least "egg shaped."

I've never seen an egg like the one in the middle. Kinda makes one wonder, huh?

The cute little egg on the right is from a new layer.
