Some exciting egg news from Sweet P’s! 🥚🐔 A few of my younger girls have officially started laying, which is great timing because I can hardly keep enough eggs in the stand!
I’ll also be putting up a new farmstand in the next few days. The old one has been limping along since it was damaged in the storm a couple months ago, so I’m excited to finally get its replacement up and running. Hopefully between the new layers and the new stand, I can keep up with y’all a little better. ☺️
In the meantime, can we appreciate these two eggs I collected yesterday? 😂 One is so big it won’t even fit in an egg carton, and the other is a teeny little “fairy egg.” Fairy eggs are pretty common with young hens who are just starting to lay, and this little one didn’t even have a yolk!
That’s one of the fun things about truly farm-fresh eggs, they don’t come off an assembly line. They can be big, small, round, pointy, speckled, all sorts of colors, and occasionally downright ridiculous. 😂 I usually save the smaller ones for our family and put the nice big ones in the stand, but every once in a while the chickens remind me that they’re in charge of quality control. 🐔🥚
