The first piece of news: Lily laid the first egg! The second: She laid two of them! While I have heard stories about the first eggs of some chickens being wrinkly, or oddly shaped, these two are perfectly egg shaped and a beautiful pale green.
It's been nearly five months since we'd started keeping chickens, and this is a very proud moment for me, Lily, and everyone who has helped take care of her.
All this about eggs is making me hungry.
But I have to stay on task, and finish the rest of this post.
. . .
Anyway, the other chickens have been enjoying the mix of black oil sunflower seeds, millet, other seeds, dried soldier fly larvae and dry, lightly crushed peas.
They treat it like candy and devour it as fast as possible whenever they see it.
(Especially Honey and Lily)
