First Egg!

Woohoo! The chicks that I started months ago have finally got down to business…an egg! Usually, once one hen starts to lay, the others follow right along. This isn’t the best time of year for hens to start laying because it’s cold and the daylight hours are short. They really need 14 hours of daylight to lay regularly. We’ve been soooo looking forward to having our own eggs! Lark is still not able to get up on her own…another coarse of vitamins, etc. Appetite is great, tho, and all systems are working well.
