Surprise Treat

All praise be to Allah SWT, just when I thought that the chickens are no longer laying eggs due to shorter daytime (since they need at least 14 hours of sunlight), I found 11 eggs in the backyard last Wednesday. Yesterday I found three more brown eggs and two white ones! Our two white chickens are finally laying eggs!

I didn't realize that the white hens laid eggs but yesterday they have been awfully loud and noisy-a typical behavior of hens that laid eggs. I am glad that they are 'happy' about becoming adults when they lay eggs.

The size of the white eggs are about 1/2 of the brown ones. Allah SWT willing we'll have more eggs from the white hens before they take a two month winter vacation.
