This is yesterday's egg harvest. Aren't they beautiful? Seven eggs are from the pullets. The pale ones are the old hens' eggs. The pinkish one, which is smaller than the others, is probably a first egg.
Today there were fourteen! Oh, Lordy, what have we done? We have seven old hens, one of whom doesn't lay often, and twelve pullets who are bred to be very productive in the egg department. Not all of the pullets have started to lay, and already the refrigerator is full of eggs, although we eat lots of them and give dozens away at every opportunity.
I may have to sell a few of these ladies. (No, I will not start an egg route.)
