Thing I said this weekend: “Goldie, you’re a WOMAN!”
I know…so weird. But she laid her first egg yesterday! That means that all five now produce those delicious butt nuggets. I saw her squat on Saturday so it was only a matter of time. Amazing what a primal, natural thing it is. Submissive squat = mature enough to mate = ready to lay.
It also means that I have even MORE eggs that I can’t eat. I give so many eggs away! If you see me with a white paper sack in my massive purse, ask me if you can have them. Most of the time, I just carry them until I see someone that would want them. I shove the bag at them and say “YA WANT SOME EGGS?” They are rarely “reserved” for anyone in particular.
I shared this article on Facebook a few weeks ago. I don’t wash my eggs. I don’t refrigerate my eggs. It’s fiiiiiinnnnne.
That’s…about it around here. Hazel is broody again but I can already tell this will be a recurring issue so it is no longer news. Homechicken wants to be a mommy. Not gonna happen, sister.
