We have had four eggs in the past week that were bigger than normal. Come to find out they were all double yolks. That makes a total of 6 double yolk eggs we have gotten since they started laying a month or so ago.
True...My son hasn't lost a chicken to a hawk since he got a rooster.He said the rooster sends a warning call to the chickens.
I would rather lose a hen or two to predators than deal with a rooster.
Testosterone-laden bastidges.
Always attacking out of the brush, crowing at all hours, being a general nuisance.
The last one made it not quite a year before SWMBO shot it.
We ate it with fava beans, and a nice Chianti....

2 Pullets started laying today. Brought them home on Feb. 15, so they're right around 22 weeks.
1st was a Delaware, about 2/3 normal sized egg. Normal size pink ceramic egg for scale.
I'm not sure who layed 2nd, narrowed it down to 2 chickens, a Red Sex link and a mutt that I hatched. It was a double-yolker.

The nice thing about having chickens is the constant supply of eggs.
The bad thing about having chickens is the constant supply of eggs.
It gets to the point of wondering what to do with all those eggs....

Omlet diet with a deviled egg chaser lol
"Ain't nobody here but us chickens..."
An old song, sung by a fox in the henhouse when the farmer came out to see what the ruckus was all about.
I dearly love eggs btw.

I seem to have outdone myself. Between the chickens, the ducks and the quail I am covered up with eggs. 
The dogs think the quail eggs are a treat and eat the whole -- shell and all. I have one duck that is throwing double-yokers every time she lays but I can't figure out which one it is.
Anyhooo, I seriously need to get that incubator in my Wish List on Amazon and start hatching quail. They are really good eating. And I need to butcher some ducks. I really have about 6 more than I need.
