When chickens are raised, they normally begin to lay eggs around 20 weeks of age. They will start laying eggs regularly a few weeks after. I'm not sure how soon our chicks started laying last time, but it seems we might just have our first egg!
Bibbi and Survivor have been laying eggs almost daily for awhile. The large, green egg on the left is her's (roughly 2.7 ounces). Bibbi lays the small tanish-white egg (middle egg) (1.8 ounces). Today I went to the coop and found one egg...and it's pretty brown. I'd be willing to bet that one of our "little ladies" has started laying! :D It's brown, 2 ounces (far right). I'm not sure, unfortunately, who laid it...I think it might have been one of the Black Sex links...but I'm not sure. I'm going to eat it tonight. I'll let you know how it tastes. :-P
See it over there?? What a nice little egg. :)
I counted and if the chicks were really born on February 11 (we got them the 12th) then today would be, on the dot, their 18-week Birthday! It's kinda early to start laying, I guess, but that's fine with me! :D Ok, that's the news of the week...I'll let you know if this new egg keeps "appearing". ;)
Hey, guess what?! I MADE ANOTHER VIDEO! yeah, duh...
Anyway, while we were in Germany, my great Aunt and Uncle took us on a ride along the Rhein river and we saw TONS of castles! I loved it; it's a shame that America doesn't have that kind of cultural history. By the time America was discovered, places like Kloster Eberbach and the Marksburg (castle) had already been around 300 years! Sooo yeah..we drove along for about an hour, then had lunch, then toured the Marksburg! It was pretty cool, and SO high up! We also went to a cafe and I had the best hot chocolate! :D AND there were two goats! they were SO cute and friendly!
At one point we were walking through the garden of the castle and this one guy stopped and said to his little son "This is the most important plant here" as he pointed to the Hops (Which is what beer is made out of). The little boy said to him, all questioning, "Kakao?" (Kakao is like chocolate milk). It was SO cute! :D
Soo yeah...I'm still going to do another video....next on my cousins that we visited, so maybe not that interesting for those outside of the family, but oh well. :)
BTW, due to Technical difficulties AGAIN, the song that it says was playing, "Not About Wings", is not what is playing, I did change to to say that it was a Mozart piece, but i guess it didn't save...
Ich will bald einen neuen Film machen von Deutschland aber hab' gerade keine Zeit.
Ich wollte aber auch sagen, vielen vielen Dank fuer alle eure schoenen Kommentare. Ich lese sie alle und sie gefallen mir. Entschuldigung dass ich nicht mehr in Deutsch schreibe, aber ich kann das nicht so gut. Bis zum nächsten Video,
I pretty much said up there^^^ Thank you for all the comments (even the English ones! :D) and that I am going to make another "Germany" video this weekend (hopefully), I just haven't had time at the moment. I'm kind of annoyed that youtube won't work for my Kloster Eberbach video, but we've tried EVERYTHING; if you have suggestions, bring 'em on. Thanks, ~Mellimaus
I am a horse lover in love with my first horse, a 13 year old Quarter Horse/Thoroughbred cross mare named Miss Daisy-Mae. I ride all the time, and we do everything, competing in western and english pleasure classes, hunterpaces, game shows, one parade, and cross country schoolings. We have gone swimming together, and participated in a 2 trail trials. Most recently I trained Daisy to drive! I'm a born-again Christian and love Jesus. I'm not sure where I'd be today without him. I love everything to do with horses and animals, especially mine, which also include 16 chickens, 2 cats, and a dog. I love taking photos and sharing them. Come and join me as I make my way through life...you know what they say, you learn something new everyday.
