I PROMISE NOT TO MAKE THE EGG-ISTENCE HABIT FORMING

HELLO & welcome to Garden Daddy here at the urban farm! Like my headline today reads, I promise to not give you an "egg-by-egg play" of the happenings with the start up of the little pullets laying. But since this is still so new and egg-citing here at the urban farm and like a discovery now every day, I will tell you that Miss Prissy has blessed us again with another gifting of a lovely, dark brown egg this morning. Nicely shaded and even of color. She is about the most vocal of the pullets to date and she is always "talking" to the others. I think she is very much at the top of the pecking order anyway, along with maybe one of the Cuckoo Marans, who really thinks she is the top of the flock.
I will not detain you long but for you dedicated followers, I am just letting you know as stated yesterday, that the egg madness had started in earnest and now just waiting on some of the other 19-pullets to follow in her little steps. I am anxious to see how dark my Marans pullets eggs are, after seeing the result of their parents very dark, nearly chocolate eggs I shared with you earlier in the spring, actually on the day I got them. So I leave you today with our ongoing gardening affirmation in mind: "URBAN FARMING: ONE EGG AT A TIME!"

  1. I was a pest with my "first" posts--first egg, first time to find two eggs, first time to find three eggs, first time thrill of finding four eggs...you get the picture. Everyone must have been thrilled I only had four hens! I never will get tired of your egg talk.

  2. Hey there, Practial Parsimony...Always glad to hear others as excited as I am over such little things...makes one slow down and smell the roses (or in my case, chicken coop). I am glad you are enjoying and thanks again for following Garden Daddy!
