Lola!

I found this (the empty white shell) in the coop this morning when I let the girls out, looks like Lola had a dry run egg. It is very soft and almost like flower petals. I'll have to watch her the next few days to see where she tries to hide and lay her next eggs. The other 2 are Petal eggs #2&3, I used the first in a pumpkin bread recipe - yum! I'll be getting them layer feed this afternoon, of course I just bought a 25 pound bag of grower a week ago! Egg production will be picking up shortly

I sent Moms picture with Petals first to My Pet Chicken and they will be adding it to the Customer Photos section. Maybe I should send this one too or Lola will feel left out...

The First Egg !


Well Miss Petal laid her first egg on November 8th, it was a lovely pinkish brown color, and she made quite a production out of the entire thing.

She has been doing a lot of talking in the morning, very loud talking I might add, I'm actually worried about being found out by the neighbors. Hopefully she will get the hang of this soon and calm down a little. I wonder who will be next...
