Quick Egg Update

Just a quick update on the egg production here at the Gerrior Poultry Division. Today was the first day we got two eggs. They seem to be producing them some time between noon and 5 pm. We have been getting one egg a day. My guess it was Fairy. Today Geneva was mighty excited to show me two eggs when I got home. She was not only excited that we got two eggs, but she was also very excited that one of them was pink. And of course, she, as I do, believe it is from Princess. We have a few reasons for this theory. One, Fairy is bigger. Two, Fairy seems a bit more aggressive especially when it comes to feeding. Eat more, grow more faster, mature more faster. Two, Fairy is darker brown or tan, and Princess is very light tan. So, when we got a light colored egg today, that is the conclusion both of us came from. Unscientific, but
makes sense.


Jenn ate two of the eggs today and said they tasted delicious. I still have not eaten one. One, I am not a big egg eater, and two, I'm kinda just basking in the success of the whole thing. We went from two $3.50 each chicks to two egg producing hens and all that is in between and goes along with. I am a little proud. I would call this chicken enterprise a success. Now all I have to do is get the numbers in the black through time/production-numbers/cost. Maybe some time next spring they will start saving us
money, maybe.
