Here's the breakdown:
Queenie—25 eggs
Doesn't she look proud!
Princess—29 eggs
She is an amazing hen.
Her laying streak ended in May at 74 eggs laid without missing a day.
She then promptly laid a 1.9 ounce egg, the largest egg so far.
Duchess—30 eggs
She wins Hen of the Month for laying the most eggs.

You've got a grand group of ladies! You must be baking up a storm and having eggs for every meal. (I would!)
ReplyDeleteIf we had one or two more hens, I probably would be. We're getting just the right amount for our normal egg usage, which means a couple of eggs a day for John, French toast for me on Sunday, and an occasional breakfast-for-supper night. They sure are delicious!
DeleteIt will be interesting to see how the heat of summer affects their production. I'm sure you have a plan to keep the ladies cool.
ReplyDeleteThe egg cups are darling!
They've been handling the heat well so far. Their coop is located in a shady place and we will provide ice water and cool treats when it gets really hot.
DeleteThe eggs cups were a Home Goods find. They were too funny to pass up.
Your ladies are just beautiful...and good job on the egg-laying, girls!
ReplyDeleteThey are keeping us well supplied with tasty eggs. Had a couple of eggs for breakfast this morning. Yum!
