I feel so badly for those hens sometimes.

We got them last spring; our first time raising chickens. We have Dekalb Amberlinks and they have been WONDERFUL layers. Even here in our cold MN winter months, they have consistently layed 12-13 eggs a day. But we have the opposite problem illustrated in the photo of your egg basket...we have one girl out there who lays a behemoth double yoker a few times a week. We joke that she may be trying to tell us she wants an epidural to perform her little duty for us. Her eggs are as big as the palm of my hand, no kidding! Chickens are so much fun and I love all the learning that preparing for them and keeping them has offered to our home school. ~Kelly in MNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-450708111898668566.post-51532256475672683502010-03-14T07:46:21.109-04:002010-03-14T07:46:21.109-04:00Awww - I love that your son has chickens!

We were getting only 3 - 4 a day until a couple of weeks ago when it jumped up to two dozen a day! Hopefully your son's girls will kick it up a notch pretty soon!basicliving@backtobasicliving.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07782631124134813311noreply@blogger.com
