Congratulations! I have hens myself, and I get no greater pleasure than looking into the nest and seeing the wonderful eggs!

Be prepared for extremes, though. I got an egg today that was just a shade larger, and the same shape, as a quarter. I've also had double yolkers larger than my fist.

Since your pullets are just coming into laying, be prepared for mini eggs, wind eggs (no yolkers), thin shells and erratic laying.

im used to all the ups an downs of having hens.im just glad they are starting to lay.the lil piggies eat 50lbs of feed a week an i have a few people wanting eggs.so far their eggs are good sized.an i eat 2 or 3 eggs at once when i eat emm.

newlywed DD came over this afternoon to use the pooter to order cochin banty chicks. She isn't telling hubby-- will just let him hear the peeps when they arrive.
Fortunately this is the SIL who has already given her a bull and 3 heifers, a greenhouse.... I don't think there will be a problem.

We've agreed to accept a few local Embryology project hens (Leghorns) if they are available. Hens only cos we love our Easter Egger rooster and don't need another. If that falls through, we'll take a few of the banties when they are older.
