Once my ladies start producing eggs, I'll be selling egg shades for only $5.00/pair. It's really quite a steal; you can protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun for the day AND have a great meal packed with nutrients at the end of it all. What could be better? Just leave a comment below if you'd like to pre-order. These babies are going to sell fast!Now that I've gotten that out of my system, I thought I'd share my enthusiasm about the many shades of eggs our happy hens will be popping out in just a few short months!
The Barred Plymouth Rocks, Speckled Sussex & Australorps will be producing eggs in various shades of brown...
The Welsummers will produce rich, dark brown eggs with speckles...
The Easter Eggers will be popping out eggs in beautiful shades of green, aqua, blue & maybe even pink!
The Wheaten Ameracaunas that we're adding to our brood this Sunday will brighten our lives with blue eggs.
And, last but not least... our little, fluffy Silkies will give us fun-size cream eggs like the one pictured in the lower right well of the egg carton.
Each day that passes, I find myself getting more and more excited about finding that first egg! This week, we are finishing the chicken condominium, trading our 2 Silkie roos for pullets, and picking up our 4-Wheaten Ameracaunas that I have longed for since the start of this project. I'll be posting step-by-step pictures of the coop build as soon as it's finished. I know you're all on the edge of your seats; I do appreciate your patience!
Great sense of humor, and neat to see the color of the eggs from each breed! You've got 10 followers now! Are you posting on that one country magazine I mentioned to you awhile back? That should help increase your readership. -Mom
