I spent 45 dollars today. 30 of that was on eggs. But that is 10 dozen. I talked to the seller and he said they are unwashed and did have roosters with the hens. So I have 6 very dark brown eggs and 2 green eggs resting from being hauled. I will put them in the incubator tomorrow. A friend likes the green eggs so I will give her those chicks if they hatch.
I also got 2 cantaloupe, 2 boxes of chocolate cookies and 2 plastic storage totes. That was the other 15 dollars. The cookies are good. The cantaloupe is too but needs to ripen a little more to be excellent. I cut one that we ate on with dinner.
Nobody showed up for euchre tonight so we are back home early. I just need to water plants and later put the chickens up. I did get a tiny egg this afternoon. So another one has started laying.
Hope you had a good day.

The shell is a light green color. Except for that just a normal egg.

But Yvonne said no
Are chickens eggs smaller when the chicken starts laying

I hope they hatch.
The first few eggs are often a lot smaller

Lots of stuff going on there. Nothing much here but staying busy online I did do some chair yoga and propped up my annoying tomato plant that is huge .and flowers but doesn't produce tomatoes. Gonna try epsom salt I guess

I am constantly shifting my tomato plants around. I am thinking about trying something different with them next year. Maybe putting the pots on a shelf and just letting them spread down.

They are slowly starting to. The garden is just ahead of them.

It's normal this time of year. Between vacations and farm work

Quiet day for me. Three bucks a dozen is an envious price for eggs these days…did you have an armored car take you home?

Feel like you need one at those prices anymore.

They are often very pretty chickens. I had a beautiful white rooster from my green egg layers several years ago.
