Going out and collecting eggs has made this past week so much fun! The first six days were consistent. One brown egg then the next day a brown and white egg. The past three days we have had 2 eggs each day. I am assuming only 3-4 birds are laying right now. Hopefully each day more and more will start to lay. I cracked open the first egg and put it next to a store bought egg. It clearly has more color, a harder shell and a thicker consistancy. It was mighty tasty too! I am saving the shells to bake, then crunch up to feed back to them. Supposedly this is a great source of calcium for them.

We also clipped all their wings. We had a Red escape to the woods for a full day. She finally came home at dusk. When she flew across the creek we knew it was time to make flying a little challenge for them.
