Looks at these beautiful eggs. One of the great joys of having chickens is eggs. There is nothing quite like reaching into the nest box under the fluffy bloomers of a hen and pulling out a warm egg or two. Grocery store shopping would have you believe that eggs come in 2 colors (white and brown) and 3 sizes (small, medium and large) when in fact eggs come in a wide variety of colors and hues and the sizes change gradually with the age of the hen. You should see the teeny tiny egg from a young hen when she first starts laying! My personal favorite is the deep burgundy brown egg from our Wellsummer hens.
