This morning I treated my flock's water with wormer. This afternoon, I discovered two eggs in the nest box...TWO! Now you must understand that I am new to chickens and have only two laying hens and three pullets. I have NEVER had a two egg day...EVER! (Of course I've only been in chickens since June and started with pullets. The laying hens came to us in October, but only one of them is really "paying the rent".) I have been waiting for this day for so long... It might even be an egg from one of my pullets! But alas, today just had to be the day I started the wormer, and proper worming protocol dictates that I throw the next two weeks' worth of eggs away. Oh well, If I can't eat the eggs, at least I can honor them here. Goodbye lovely eggs. You might have made a tasty dish...
