HEN HAPPENINGS: OUR FIRST GREEN EGGS BUT NO HAM

We got our first eggs this week and they are beautiful. Dr. Seuss made GREEN EGGS famous by way of a children's book. But thanks to the Easteregger and the Ameuracana variety from South America, blue (and green) chicken eggs exist.

I couldn't find a carton that said small, green eggs! LOL



Hoot has layed 4 green eggs in one week!

Chickens love fresh greens besides their regular diet. This makes all the difference in the taste!

That's Hoot in the front. Eastereggers carry a blue gene that gives rise to blue, green, pink, and even white eggs from this type of chicken.

Now, would you like to see something funny? I left the lid off the feed bin and guess what?

This is Phoebe; a chicken with personality. She'll tell me all about her day when we sit on the back porch.

She'll also walk right into our house if the backdoor is left open. Phoebe is a beautiful barred Plymouth Rock.

The black and white bands help them to hide from hawks.

That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by.
