Eggs on the scale, one came in as “pee wee”, and the other in between “pee wee” and “small”.<\/p><\/div>\n

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!<\/p>\n

The two oldest mottled Java pullets\u00a0are 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\u00a0in the shade today).\u00a0 Guess they decided not to wait.<\/p>\n

And now I have to hurry and\u00a0finish putting the screening on the vent holes of the nest boxes and get the nest boxes opened up so they can lay in the\u00a0correct spot.\u00a0 Fortunately, I ordered ceramic eggs several months ago so I would have them ready\u00a0to put into the nest boxes to show the girls where they are supposed to lay their eggs.<\/p>\n
