"Mixed Feelings"

Today was a special day in the growth of our chicken enterprises. We got our first colored egg.



In case I haven't told you one of our breeds are something called Ameracaunas which lay tinted eggs. It's hard to see in the pic but it is clearly a greenish blue. Almost too pretty to break!

Mixed feelings because one of our Buff Orpingtons died in childbirth, also today. I don't know specifically why but it was an ugly sight. She basically lost part of her insides along with her offspring. Pretty gruesome.

I left her out for the coyotes. It will be interesting to see if they have recycled her by morning.
