7 Eggs!! I Am Rich!

OH myyyy GAWD! My chickens are actually laying eggs! Last summer they were dry as a bone, hardly a chicken could do a thing it seemed. I had almost lost hope in the flock, i thought maybe they were too old, too inbred, too many bought at auction.
But alas! Warm weather and alot of free range fun = seven eggs this morning.
What is even cooler, two of the hens appeared to be setting (both the Rhode Island Reds)... i let myself get pecked as i pulled all the eggs from the nest to put in my basket.
I will let them have the next batch --- if they make babies too, I am going to explode with excitement!

Beautiful! Our three hens and nine ducks are filling up the basket too. Like Ike said: "nice and sunny and warm" you're in no-sleeves.

OFF TOPIC:
Been wonderING if you're able to use that electric motorscooter in your lucky land? I'm thinking about three-wheelie one with a canopy for getting into town since I'm less and less in my old Subaru.

Give me a shout about 'electric mobility'. Thanks, Mokihana
