Exciting day for us backyard chook lovers, our two Pekins decided to lay their first eggs – together!

Got home from tending the horses and doing a bit of shopping and as usual straight down to the chook run to let the girls out. Checked inside their shed and found a surprise in each box – eggs!

We got them in May when Speckles (left) was about 8 weeks and Lilly around 12 weeks old.

Not sure who did what so I can’t label them S and L. They have a different cast so in the next week or so I’ll know who’s laying say the whiter one – LOL.
