2 weeks went by. 2 long, painful weeks. With NO eggs.
Then on Tuesday, Naomi came in from feeding the chickens, and she had a smile on her face.
She showed me an egg. And not just any egg.
A GREEN egg.
Yes, one of our Auracana's laid an egg!
The Auracanas are known more casually as "Easter egg" chickens. They lay eggs with pretty colored shells.
Yesterday, we got a normal brown egg.
Today, we got another green egg.
Aren't they pretty? (Well, I think so -- Kevin says they are ugly.)
So, we are feeling cautiously optimistic. We changed their food recently and perhaps they've gotten a renewed lease in their egg laying life. Of course, one egg a day is pathetic. But it is better than no eggs.
