Brian met the Golden Girls for the first time yesterday afternoon, and immediately latched on to the Easter Egger. He wanted to name her Morgan – after his favorite who died. I encouraged him to give this one her own special name, so he decided on Goldilocks. I like it! I didn't like his choices for the Buffs, so I helped a little there; they are now christened Gilda and Brassy (the latter has the bigger comb). Brian graciously said they could be mine. :-)
And look at yesterday's haul (minus one I picked up later)! The upper left egg was in the pullet's "protective custody" pen . . . maybe the other girls were inspired to keep up appearances?
That's it for yesterday from . . .

That'a a nice haul.
I was delighted!
P.S. Did you have any trouble commenting? I tried to make it easier for people by removing the word verification, and ever since I did that I've gotten FEWER comments. I'm wondering if I screwed something up!
Well, I appreciate the lack of word verification as the new WV is hard to read. I love your little graphic with the 'Boulderneigh' name on it, by the way.
What a lovely chicken, Goldilocks is! I love the different hues in the eggs. And THANK you for removing the WV!
Thanks, Nissa -- and welcome! I haven't seen you here before, and it's always nice to see new names!
I love the way you encouraged Brian to give Goldilocks her own name. So very important to help children realize that. I have 6 hens, 1 roo, 3 youngsters and 1 four day old chick and only 2 have names. Maybe now that my flock is manageable I should christen the rest.
Sweet choice. They look like Easter eggs.
That's a good haul! I had 7 when I got home yesterday (from over the weekend), including a very dark Maran egg. I think they're all kicking into gear - need to get the light back up!!
