When a Pullet, a young hen, begins to lay she often misses days and her eggs are usually small and grow larger over time. Our new Brahma mix hen has now laid 8 Eggs in Her first 9 Days of laying! Some Hen!
Her eggs are getting bigger, and are nearly as big as a Large White Store Bought Egg! You can see by the picture that the eggs are getting bigger too! My guess is she’ll be laying Jumbos before long!
It recently come to my attention that some companies, in some cases, big companies that manufacture herbs and spices, are experiencing supply issues! That’s part of the fundamental food chain! So, at the risk of sounding “alarmist”, I’m asking You, “What would You do if Commercial Feed Supplies run out?

Most, if not all the ideas and techniques that are presented in How to Feed Your Chickens Without Grain – 20 Ways to Cut Your Costs 100% can also be employed if, and when, feed sources become scarce!
Our First Egg at Briden Farm Follows the arrival of our Buff Brahmas! We had a bit of a scramble this past weekend as we had the opportunity to expand our flock! You can read more about that here…
After getting our New Chickens, which were told are about 4-5 months old and soon ready to start laying, we become very Eggs-Pectant!
Watching the new birds, and some of our existing ones, to see if they’re starting to lay! So, when happens, when the day comes when the first egg arrives, it’s an Egg-Sighting Day!
Some of You know Eggsactly what we mean! Right? 😉
PS: Yes, we know that’s an Easter Egger Rooster, pictured with the Brahma Hen!
