Eggs

Ouch.
Look at how huge that egg is!
Pretty sure it's a double yolk.

Yep, those eggs are green.

We have Ameraucana's and they are nicknamed the "Easter Egg Chicken"
because they lay different colored eggs: green, blue, pinkish brown, etc.

Each hen has her own color. Notice the variations in the colors?

6 of our new babies are also Ameraucana's and I am hoping we get a new color:)

I love having chickens!

Say hello to the babies!

Yep, it's that time of year again!
Baby Chicks!

 We got 12 new babies and right now they are living in my dining room in a plastic bin.
We have them all set up with "chick starter" feed, water and a heat lamp.

I could sit and play with them all day, they are so soft and cute!
