Eggs on the scale, one came in as “pee wee”, and the other in between “pee wee” and “small”.

On a routine watering run to the chicken tractors today, I opened up the “big” coop and received a terrific surprise – 2 small brown eggs in the far corner of the coop!

The two oldest mottled Java pullets are 4.5 months old now, so I have been waiting to see if they would start laying soon or wait for cooler weather (it’s only 107* F in the shade today).  Guess they decided not to wait.

And now I have to hurry and finish putting the screening on the vent holes of the nest boxes and get the nest boxes opened up so they can lay in the correct spot.  Fortunately, I ordered ceramic eggs several months ago so I would have them ready to put into the nest boxes to show the girls where they are supposed to lay their eggs.

Our two small eggs compared with a large storebought egg. The eggs should get bigger as the girls get older.
