Next to her is "Speckles," a barred rock. She's medium size, no larger than my sweet pet chickens. These ladies aren't tame. Yet. They'll come round.
I'll be back later in the week with some pictures of pottery, I hope.
Have a nice week!

chickens and the egg

We get eggs from my husband's aunt, and every once in awhile she'll have a hen that lays these insanely huge eggs. I always expect them to be double yolks, but they're just giant. Right now she has new hens and they've just started laying, so lots of calcium deposits. It's so interesting the watch the change in the eggs as they get older.
Are you by chance originally from Marigold, MS??? Lovely place, and a wee bit of pottery history!
Jacqueline, no, I am not, but Merigold (thus my alternate spelling) is home to McCarty pottery, the reason I am a potter today. It IS a sweet little place.
Yes, Lee and Pup McCarty! I am originally from MS, literally grew up on the border of MS/LA. I have a pretty extensive collection of McCarty, mostly the older stuff with the original markings. Oh, yeah... and I lived on S. Mclean around 1985/86, Memphis is a great little town!
Ha -- on top of a stone! That's a funny image! I can't wait for my hens to start laying. Do yours just free range around your yard? I have mine in a tractor since we don't have a fence, but I imagine that even if we did have a fence they'd still be getting out all the time.
