and finally all the hard labor is starting to pay off. Two of the chickens ( they are close to fully grown now) have started to lay eggs. The first couple of eggs a chicken lays are usually very small with a soft shell. No good for human consumption and they normally brake when the chickens step on them. Then they start laying little eggs, about halve the size of the eggs we find in the grocery store. After about a week the eggs get bigger , after 2 weeks they are regular size. I did a little spying and found out that Spot was the first producer, followed by Chici. So we now have one large and one small egg per day. Can't wait till the others start laying too. Farmers Market here we come.
