The hens turn 6 months old tomorrow, and it seems like every day another one begins to lay eggs. They lay a variety, from light to darker brown, speckled, jumbo white and prettiest of all, light blue eggs from Owl, my Araucana hen. I was worried the girls were laying their eggs everywhere except in the nesting boxes, but I found a couple of them up in them this morning. The eggs have deep orange yolks and taste amazing. Whitey, the smallest chicken in the flock, lays gigantic white eggs.
