The new girls have started laying eggs!
At first they were tiny and cream colored with titanium shells. Seriously, they took a few good whacks to crack. Crazy enough, every one has had a tiny yolk!
After about a week, they started to get a little bit bigger and the brownish hue deepened into a nice caramel color.
And then today I collected the biggest so far. It’s barely smaller than the behemoths the old hens lay. It’s not as brown as the others have been, but it still has a cream hue.

The new girls were pretty proud of themselves and were rewarded with grapes…their favorite.
