Eggs

Holy Cow or I should say Holy Chicken -- I am now getting two eggs a day from the first 6 gold comets I purchased. The first girls are now 22 weeks old.  I decided to get 6 additional gold comets that are 19 weeks old. When they all get to laying I should get about 10 eggs a day.  Gold comets are prolific layers and can lay up to 300 eggs a year.  I was so excited when I got the first egg but today I was excited at the size of this egg. 

This picture is of the first egg I got and and the next picture is the one I got today.

Chickens

Again it has been a long time since I have posted.  I have ordered 6 Gold Comet pullets from Shook Poultry.  I also hope to get 6 more chicks when I go on September 3 to pick them up.  That will be 12 chickens 16 - 18 weeks old.  I want to show the progress and my journey with chickens since I have never had chickens before.  My neighbor Walter Ford is helping me build the chicken house and I so appreciate his help.  If you are interested in purchasing fresh eggs at $3 per dozen, please let me know.  Picture to come soon!
