Eggs already? They must be happy hens!
Your hens and roosters are beautiful. I'm very impressed that you have eggs already. Well done. You must be doing everything right.
9 eggs in 2 days, I am amazed.. The big rooster gets a flock at my friend's farm, their rooster is old and does not do his job anymore. So everything should work out great
Went to get onions and there they were on kitchen counter. Colourful eggs! Kids love having fresh eggs from our own pets. Free range butt nuggets!

That's a great haul especially so soon after they've arrived...
I was about 25 before I realised that white eggs come from white hens and brown eggs come from brown hens. I didn't know it before.
My friend has certain breed of chicken that lay green eggs, and another breed that lay very dark redishbrown eggs. If I remember correctly, those breeds were araucana and marans. I think I have to go and google it now.. Those birds are pretty. But I love mine as well, even they are not that special looking. They are special sort of funny though. That big rooster tried to feed me by stuffing cottage cheese in my sandals! She also has a rooster that is completely Black, breed is called ayam cemani. They said even Meat and bones are Black. I was baffled, never thought that could be possible.
It's amazing the things you learn! :)
I love all birds and think they are all special looking, yours are beautiful, I would love to have chickens one day
In here many people have those tiny breeds even in apartment buildings. They make caging easy to clean and have a run in balcony. Big breeds would not do in those but silkies and seramas etc go fine in small place. Cleaned daily they won't even smell.
