Cleaned the coop this morning - fun, fun, fun. I just keep reminding myself of the benefits all the composted chicken manure and shavings will have on the gardens this coming year. Hauling out wheelbarrows filled with droppings is not my favorite part of owning chickens. The eggs, however, are. We have been getting an average of 5 a day now, so we are going to need to start selling some occasionally. Here are some pictures: you can see the difference between the eggs of the chickens who just started laying this last week (very small) versus the girl who lays huge double yolkers.

| This one is crinkly, but hard, unlike the few leathery ones we had a couple weeks ago. |
