Well, the girls are laying. Some of my 15 hens started laying eggs several weeks ago. Call me silly but there is something so exciting about that first egg arriving! We had our grand nephews here for the weekend and I wanted them to be able to gather some eggs, just one problem. My hens weren't laying yet so I went out to "plant" some eggs and the hens had surprised me and laid 2 eggs! I am getting anywhere from 5-7 a day,some big and some very small!
