The babies are having babies

Well, not exactly BABIES... but our chickens have finally started laying eggs! We have been spying on them ever since they started laying, to see who is producing (it's only been one egg per day so far)... Kyle finally caught Lucky in the act (Madeline's chicken). Lucky was pretty interested in us being in the coop, very curious and following us around when we go near the hutch. So we had a hunch it was her. The funny thing she has always been the skinny, tiny one! The other were so full, feathery and just seemed more mature, but they are all different breeds so it's hard to directly compare. Madeline breathed a HUGE sigh of relief, as she has always been concerned that Lucky was secretly a rooster (roosters not allowed in city limits). So now we can all breath easy with this delicious proof of hen-hood.


Double yolk. Go girl!
