5 eggs!
I have five hens left at this point. Today marks the first day that I have collected five eggs from them! This confirms, finally, my hypothesis that my last batch of chicks was not bred very well. Silver, who is supposed to be an Ameraucana and lay blue eggs, is clearly laying brown eggs. The one blue egg is by Brownie, an Ameraucana with the typical 'whiskers' which Silver also lacks. Never mind my grumpiness, this is a happy post. The molt is done! The light is hung! We're in eggs again! I shall post about Spaetzle soon.
