We're Egg Rich!
Okay, so it's not the amount of playtime. It's not feed or water or sexual activity.
At this point, I'm pretty sure that what it comes down to is weather. The productivity of our chickens seems to depend most on the temperature inside the henhouse. Too hot, and they don't want to be inside the stuffy coop while they lay. Too cold, and it's winter and they're not really laying anyway. Right now, it's juuuuuuuuuuuust right!
Yesterday, for the very first time, we got NINE - count 'em NINE - eggs! We are getting two different colors of green eggs, and now at least seven colors of brown eggs.
Honestly, I think it's a peaceful and beautiful sight. Contemplating the smooth, beautiful shells, the soft, warm colors...it's kind of easy to get all googy about them.
Now, if only the actual chickens weren't so goofy.
