Today's conundrum...
1 day
5 happy hens
7 eggs
I have 2 questions...
Number one: How is this possible?
Number two: How soon can I expect a golden egg?
This isn't the first time we've been surprised and collected more eggs than we have hens. A joke, perhaps? Well, our nearest neighbor is a dear man of 77 who is not the prankster type, and our trusty farm dog is always near the hen house...she would definitely let us know if there was anyone nearby.
I absolutely checked the nest boxes first thing in the morning...empty.
At day's end, 7 eggs are tucked inside.

There's just something magical about them!
I'd love some magical chickens like yours! That is great about the extra eggs, and interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing...and always such a surprise. Still hoping for that golden egg!
DeleteWell what a surprise indeed ! Maybe one hen is battery operated lol ! On my farm days we would have the odd hen that would lay more then one egg in a day ! But there's always hope for that golden egg one can never know ! Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteCrossing my fingers! They even lay all winter...without a light to encourage them. They really are the best hens.
