Funny, I had a feeling when I left for work - the way the girls were squawking - that today might be the day we saw the first egg. I even mentioned it to Robert Richey (his family got the chicks for me). I came home this evening and there - in the far nest box - it lay. Small - smaller than a medium egg - but perfect in every other respect. The question now is which of the girls produced this? Hmmm. They aren't talking. My bet is on Dixie. She is the largest and her wattles and comb turned bright red before the others...
Somehow I missed those last pictures - beautiful chickens! In fact, I'll venture to say that those are the prettiest chicken pictures I've ever seen - maybe it's just that no one else does portraits. Percella is my favorite - all golden and radiant. Kudos on the egg! Here's to many more!
