Eggs, Eggs and more Eggs!

The chickens are laying eggs! This started the day I went to Cheyenne. We didn't think they would lay until September so this was a surprise!

 

 

 

Since I was away my wonderful Father [who's birthday is tomorrow, he's turning 60 :).], took the liberty of making some nesting boxes for the chickens.

 

 

Dad hard at work.

 

 

Fits pretty well in the coop. There are six nesting boxes.

Investigating the nesting area. [Bright photo, sorry.]

The two eggs on the left are the first eggs, this is compared to a regular egg from the store on the right.

 

 

 

That egg that was in the middle is 3 inches long!

 

 

 

They are getting the hang of the nesting boxes I think.

 

 

 

Some still like the dirt.

 

I have already been using the eggs, I even used one today for the Carrot Spice Muffins I made for Dad for breakfast tomorrow. It was a double yoker!
