I collect mine and refrigerate unwashed. I wash when ready for use. I date my cartons and follow the first in first out rule. If I get an abundance of eggs in the fridge I'll bulk wash and gift cartons to friends and family. A lot of folks like to bake with farm fresh eggs around the holidays...
My big boy The Colonal, RIR, decided to take a good picture for me today!! I just love how his eyes are looking he thought he was going to square up with my phone LOL 😂 meanwhile the bully birds are checking out the babies 🤦♀️
That is a large chicken on your head LOL yes she did yesterday.. she was kind enough to back up and poop on my shoulder instead though 🤣🤣🤣 the joys of chickening
One of my pullets FINALLY laid her first egg! And I have a chick that has taken to flying to my head cute now.. but when she's full grown this could be a problem 😅 I think she likes me a little LOL 😂
Rear left Buff is unnamed, rear right Buff is DeeDee (keeper!), middle left white crested is Babe you can kind of see the barring I mentioned, big fatty middle right is unnamed, and ofc front and center as always is Tina!
Ofc I'm keeping the 2 with the poofiest heads haha! I've dubbed them Tina Turner and DeeDee Snyder lol and then the smallest one Babe I'll probably hang onto as well just because I've had to keep a close eye on her fluffy butt cleanings and such
I'll only be keeping 2 or 3 of them. I'm hoping Babe does ok her wings are so pretty! Almost like she's got some barring going on. I know not a show quality trait but pretty none the less! But she's behind the curve so to speak and still smaller than the rest but I'm hopeful she's spunky!
I couldn't help getting a few more of my girl Tina! I think she identifies as a parrot! She flies to my shoulder everything the screens come off and has such a personality!
