the egg
we finally got our first egg after a 6.5 month wait. (6 months is average for this breed i guess) We took it inside, scrambled it up, and the whole family got a bite or 2 of the first egg.
I went out later and saw this guy:

therfor the egg was first, and the car was second in my day.

Now which came first? The wrap or the chicken?

The car matches one of my scooters!

Very nice! Raising chickens for eggs is a lot of work, very well done.

I grew up on a small farm, and disliked the work enough I only started growing vegetables again a couple years ago. Not sure I can do chickens, the Mrs and I have talked about it but she hasn't been able to convince me.

@OPPOsaurus-WRX Chickens! I got a friend who's neighbor has some, bet they came in handy early in quarantine.

Your scoot is a better green.

@exage03040 Thank you. I agree.

I like fresh eggs much better than from the store - yolk seems to be creamier, shells are tougher, usually a bit bigger overall, plus they keep way longer.

@jminer My cousin keeps chickens; apparently one big bonus is they do a good job of keeping ticks under control.

@Just-Jeepin I'm lazy and spread bug killer on the lawn twice a year, both helps keep the ticks and grubs at bay which also helps keep away the Moles.

Chickens are awesome for gardens too - they both eat pests and fertilize. My wife almost had me convinced to get a couple, but then we decided to move.

@opposaurus-wrx what breed do you have, my guess based on that egg and what you said: Brahmas? they lay in the winter pretty well, even without artificial light. Our pullets just started laying, we have 3 each Brahmas and Ameraucanas. We're getting about 1.5 a day right now, with mostly brown and a couple blues in there. We have artificial light in the coop, or we wouldn't be expecting any from the Ameraucanas 'till spring.

@jawzx2 I think they are buff orpington

ah, last time I had orpingtons the pullets didn't lay 'till spring... though they are good volume layers.
