Found our first pullet egg from one of the McMurrary babies! It's a dark little thing, so probably from a Plymouth Rock, a Wyandotte, or a Buff Orpington. We're all thrilled; it means that at last we are sure they are old enough to lay, and that our chickens are getting healthier. Soon we are going to have more hay delivered to us, and I'll get the coops cleaned out real good. Once they're clean, it'll probably prompt more laying.
The scarce few eggs our hens have been laying are in my incubator, because we cannot eat them with the penicillin in them, (although I will stop dosing the birds within the next day or so,) so I have a pear there for size comparison!

Speaking of the incubator, I now have five mutt eggs in it. Three browns, and two whites. We added a fourth egg yesterday, and another today, so we're doing good! Hopefully they'll all hatch. :)
