Now that it's winter the girls get a lot more treats, such as scratch (dried corn), grubs, kale, and sunflower seeds. They get extra because they can't go out as much (or won't) with all the snow, ice, and cold and need some form of entertainment.
All five girls are laying now. The day before yesterday we got our second double-yolked egg. Honey's eggs are a light pinkish color, while Ginger's are a darker brown. Coral and Black Pearl both lay light brown eggs, but Coral's eggs are medium sized and Pearl's eggs are small. Lily lays pale green, large eggs. They're only laying at this time of year because of the lights in the henhouse and run. Here are some pictures (the lighting changed the color of the eggs in the pictures, making them more yellow except in the last one).Coral,
