Ovum Becomes Ove!

Apparently, one of the Australorps decided to get into the egg-laying business, meaning we now have two of the Ladies earning their keep. From the picture you can see the difference in color, the brown egg coming from an Australorp (e.g. John or Paul). We don't yet know if the difference in size is a breed characteristic or just to be expected with the first couple eggs; we're thinking the latter.

Your eggs seem extra pointy in comparison to the non-refrigerated eggs of Singapore. Round and some come with weird things injected in them. Ewww. Very nice. Martha would be proud. CONGRATULATIONS!

Hey Jud and Laura!! This is Drew. It is good you are building up agricultural skills. When the political and economic structures collapse I say we consolidate both families on a large communal farm in SC! :D
