I'm so proud of my girls!

[Snadger]

Earlier in the year I hatched some eggs. The Dad was and is a purebread Light Sussex. The Mums were a bunch of ISA Browns in his flock.
Seven hatched, five of which were girls. The two boys are now big strapping birds just like there Dad. Their Dad always had a dodgy 'crow' and they seem to have inherited this strained cock-a-doodle-do.

Its the five big girls (all white) which I am proudest of though as today I got five lurvvvely large brown eggs from them! This, at a time when the rest of my flock are going off lay a bit was a welcome surprize.

Remains to be seen whether they keep laying through the winter or not.......hope so!

Well done those girls! I would be great if they carried over winter and kept you in eggs.

Lovely surprise...

That's lovely news!!....good gals!

(I've got my fingers, nose and teeth crossed my 28 wk Marans will lay soon and not decide to wait until Spring!!!)

Congratulations Unca Snadge.

What a happy story, they sound lovely!

If they've just started laying I'd think there's a good chance you'll get eggs all winter. Well done (the chickens, that is!)
