Winter egg hiatus is over!

January 17, 2011

What with the heavy molt they went through last fall, plus the move to the new house, plus the short winter days, my girls quit laying eggs for me for the last 3 months. I knew that with the lengthening days that I'd probably be seeing an egg or two any day now. Sure enough, Pecker started squawking up a storm yesterday morning (which they tend to do right before they lay an egg...) Sure enough, I was rewarded with these two big beauties this morning!

Eggs

For those of you new to the blog, Pecker is one of my Ameraucanas so she lays beautiful blue eggs.
