Day 179

The eggs have been steadily coming since the day they started laying.  We’re getting three to six a day.  Yes, SIX!  That means they are all laying.  I guess that one Barred Rock really is a girl.  We were convinced she was a boy.

Here are the eggs I gathered today.  I think the giant one is Miss Prissy’s.  She’s been laying really big eggs all along.  Polish hens are supposed to lay small eggs.

Day 161

Apparently Christen was not happy with the name I gave Petard so she made me change it.  That’s fine because after a few new suggestions that were rejected, I ended up with Carl.  I don’t think she likes that one either, but it seems to be sticking.

In non-related news, our banana plant is flowering.  It’s pretty exciting because we didn’t expect it on this plant because it is much smaller than the plant we have in the corner of the yard.
