I Missed One

It turns out that both Peninah and Avigal laid their first egg on June 26th, 2010 and what I described as Shoshanah's egg was really Peninah's very first. I hope she accepts the apologies I extended to her today when I realized what had happened, because she certainly didn't receive the same first-egg fanfare that the other girls have received. I can tell at this point whose egg is whose by the shape and color, especially since we got 4 eggs today. So happy second egg to my beautiful Peninah.

Oh, when you can identify which egg belongs to whom, now that is quite something! ~bangchik

Bangchik - It's only because there are only 4 hens laying eggs right now. Once the 8 babies get to laying age, my guess is I'll never know whose was whose again.

I know you feel really bad but you will not make the CHICKY Mom of the year. I know you are devastated but you will have to get over it LOL. You Got to praise those girlz. When the rest start laying you will need to get a nest video camera so you can see who is laying. LOL NOW that is just beyond normal

About Me

My Photo
I'm an almost 50-year-old woman trying to create a more sustainable lifestyle for my family on our less than 1/5th acre urban homestead in south Florida. You're welcome to follow our journey as we attempt to grow as much of our own organic produce as our little yard can take, raise backyard chickens for eggs, compost, and amusement, try to reduce our carbon footprint, learn to preserve food by canning, freezing, and dehydrating, and hopefully turn our little urban homestead into a profitable venture.

About This Blog

My Edible Yard was created in an effort to spur myself on while publicly journaling my trials, errors, and successes in the creation of our urban homestead. The key word here is publicly as I am famous for zealously starting projects and then abandoning them. In making my south Florida urban homesteading experience public, I hope to force myself to continue on with the project and actually create a more sustainable life for my husband and me. So please send kind words of encouragement, gardening and cooking tips to keep me going. They are all much appreciated.
