I didn’t know whether to make this a Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real post or a Farm Girl Friday. So I guess we’ll call it both 🙂
The end of March our ready to lay hens arrived. They aren’t used to me, so they pile up in the corner when I go in the pen. They’ll get used to me and Colin soon.
The hens last year were too young. It took nearly 6 weeks for them to lay. Not exactly ‘ready to lay’, though we didn’t get charged any less!
But I’m Happy to say that the hens got off to a great start and I had half a dozen later that afternoon. I’m really happy now because the hens are almost up to regular ‘large’ sized eggs.

ose eggs are beautiful, like GOLD !!! I did not know you could get hens ready to lay, how neat. Now you can go have breakfast!! mmmmmm
My dream is to have chickens someday. Enjoy the fresh eggs!
wonderful! and maybe you will have some to sell too! 🙂 much love to you!
Oh yes Elizabeth, this was just 45 spring replacements. I have 99 laying hens (the limit for non-quota farms). That’s where I get my ‘spending’ money for things like skating and yarn 🙂 Hope you are having a blessed Holy Week.
