The Little Eggs

Recently the Molt has hit our flock and thus kept the Big Girls from laying any eggs. Penny is for some reason going through her second molt this year, her first starting in late August and her recent one starting in late September. There was a clear time she stoped molting inbetween. However while the older ones molted, the younger hens did not. Instead Ethel and Ester became egg machines. For Ester's first two weeks of laying, her very first two, she only didn't lay on one day. They both lay almost an egg a day now without any sign of stopping.

The older hens have gone weeks without laying. Oh well. They have become pets over anything else regardless. The only little girl left to lay is Ertha. She is still an itty-bitty chicken we don't know when she'll lay, or if she'll get any bigger.
