On Christmas day one of my Golden Laced Wyandottes laid her first egg! This was very exciting for me as I had been patiently waiting for my hens to start laying for almost six months:) I could tell it was her (the black and gold one in the picture) because her comb was especially red instead of just pink like the other hens. Big Foot, my rooster has been on very good behavior since he pecked my hens comb until it bled a month ago and I threatened to feed him to the coyotes. He is very handsome. My little egg looks kinda puny next to the Grade A Extra Large eggs from the store but it is so beautiful. I even used it right away to bake this apple pie for Christmas dessert!
