This is one of the most exciting days on our little farming adventure we have had so far! Our first set of chicks hatched out August 4, 2015 and they arrived to us on August 7th. We have waited 5 months for them to lay their own eggs. Obviously, we didn't expect it right away... Actually we were thinking that it would happen closer to the beginning of March. We don't keep a light on them, so I thought there weren't enough hours of light in each day for them to lay.
This is the first one (pic. left)!!!! It was from our Black Australorp. I know that because it was brown. Although, the color in the picture doesn't do it justice. The picture on the right was sent to me about an hour later. I couldn't believe that we had two eggs in one day!
As the day progressed we ended up with six eggs! The Black Australorp laid the brown eggs, Ameraucana laid the green/blue eggs, and the Buff Orpington laid the beautiful pinkish colored eggs. And, because Jett broke one, he got to eat it and said it was delicious!
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
