They get big enough to lay eggs pretty quick really. They lay from 9-12 eggs a day in these 6 boxes.

In Bill's Iowa Farmer Today that we got today, the cooking article is all about eggs! It says that eggs contain 13 vitamins and minerals, fiber and high-quality protein at only 70 calories each.

I had been hearing for years from mom & my uncles that roosters are mean. I hadn't experienced that until yesterday. This one came running into the chicken house when I was getting eggs and flew up at me for no reason! Diane says they try to "spur" you with their feet. I kicked it when it flew up a couple of times but it didn't seem to help - as I backed up to the door! Then when I was taking this picture outside the fence, he was still wanting to get me! I guess when kicking didn't work, mom and her brothers resorted to a baseball bat. They talk of one time knocking a rooster out and they thought it was dead! They were happy! But not sure if they'd be in trouble.
