My speckled sussex pullets have finally started laying at eight months old! I was starting to think they were never going to lay. My egg business will now be re-energized.
Ironically I was at dinner at Blue Hills at Stone Barns last Friday night and as a fifth course I was dramatically served a poached egg drizzled with something and presented in a big white ceramic bowl with the waiter whispering to me that the egg had been laid that day. When I broke down the cost of each course, I figured out that fresh egg was worth $25. I wish I had that kind of clientele!
