I have big news that Arum (as we thought was a rooster) has laid her first egg and proven he was a hen. Her eggs are really small, just a bit bigger than a fifty cent piece. We have seven Eloise eggs right now, I expect the yolk would be small so I will have to use her eggs in omelettes or frittatas.
Did you know that when I’m around Lucas doesn’t get pecked (hard) by Eloise, but when I’m gone, that’s a different story. Yesterday Lucas’s got pecked so hard that his foot started to bleed. It’s something to do with the pecking order. I earned all of the chickens respect, even Eloise! You really don’t want to see Eloise angry, she chases after you really fast , fluffs up and starts pecking towards you. It’s actually quite scary, before I earned their respect. Just show them your not afraid, and get pecked really hard.
