Squirt, our little Blue Adalusian hen is an early bloomer. At just over four months old, it seems she’s begun laying. She does have the biggest comb, so much bigger than the other hens in fact, that my daughter was convinced she was a rooster. Actually, my daughter has thought he was a rooster ever since he, I mean she was a little chick, because she has always had such an attitude! And now that she’s laid an egg, she really thinks she’s hot stuff!It started when my husband came into the house,
he had just given our chicken’s clean water; he showed us a small round object and said “Guess where I found this?”
“Where?”
“In the chicken coop” he said.
At first we were wondering if our neighbor – who has about 30 chickens – planted it there as a joke. It was perfectly white and clean, and we didn’t expect the hens to start laying until they are about six months old.
But just today she laid another one! This is so exciting, our own farm-fresh eggs!!
