I am very eggcited to report, this is no yolk and it’s smashing to be able to tell you, our route to self sufficiency has slowly but surely begun!
After many a false start, of hatching four cockerels on our second attempt at incubating eggs, after ending up with two cockerels that were bought as hens, almost a year to the day since we started I discovered four eggs in the chicken house just now!
Bantams are supposed to lay 2 -3 eggs a week each. It’s definitely only four days since I last checked which means they are both laying well already :).
I’m going to read up about getting them to hatch some of their own chicks and how long after they start laying we should let them go broody but for now, pancakes for breakfast in the morning with the very first of our own produce 🙂
Woohoo self sufficiency for the Goddards!!
but i refuse to laugh at the egg jokes :rollseyes:
😆
Aw that’s pretty exciting 🙂
