Eggs

We received our third little white egg today. Of the two new chickens, one is genetically a white-egg layer and the other is a brown-egg layer. So, we know which one it is, though we haven’t seen her lay any of the eggs or heard her make noise about them. Ironically, it is the white chicken, and she is half the size of the other. The blue-gray one will make brown eggs at some point. I’m not sure how much bigger she needs to get before hitting maturity for laying eggs, but it’s funny that the tiny one is laying now, the one picked on the the other chickens any time they’re all out in the yard… the one with the highest stress levels, most likely. But there we have it. Little white-y is laying little white eggs now, it seems, and fluffy blue is just chillin’ still. Haha
