The Chicken(s) and the Egg(s)

Finaly, time for an update on my hobby farm project...
My chickens are now fully grown, and they are none too small. The silver waterer pictured here holds five gallons, and you can see how big the birds are standing next to it.










Here is a better picture of my rooster. He is not a small bird; I'd say he's easily as big as a house cat.
















And, finally, I'm getting eggs on a regular basis. Right now I'm getting about four a day, and as you can see from this picture they are quite large too.

Your chickens are really pretty.

The eggs are huge and have orange yolks! I've used 3 so far for baking. I'm anxious to try just frying or hard boiling them. They should be delicious!
