Meet Nyneave and Egwene (from left to right).
Yes, we're big Wheel of Time nerds.
Egwene is a Black Minorca and Nyneave is a Dark Brahma. We got them both this May. Egwene recently began laying eggs, but Nyneave just hangs around looking worried whenever Egwene starts squawking. I started to worry about her, but a little bit of research revealed that Dark Brahmas can take up to 2 years to become real women!
Egwene has finally reached her first dozen! We're very proud of her. I decorated an egg carton specially.

Her eggs began very tiny, almost golfball sized (it was very cute). But now she lays real sized eggs.
She's laid a great many more than a dozen by now, but she's finally caught up to our egg usage. I'm gonna have to make dozens of cookies today to keep on top of it! Once Nyneave begins laying, we'll have to start giving eggs away!
Yay! Chickens are great.
