Egg Update

Our first egg arrived last week and for a few days they appeared every-other day.  Then, yesterdays egg was followed by one this morning!  I wasn't sure who was laying, until today.  Yesterday Mick modified the Chicken Coop adding two beautiful nesting boxes, this morning when I opened the door to let the ladies out all but one came racing outside...then I heard a flutter....out strutted our big Buff Orpington Rita (the one I was worried maybe a Rooster) I lifted the nesting box lid and inside was a lovely, tiny, WARM egg, yeah Rita!
The colour is dramatically different from yesterdays egg, I am hoping we have two girls laying.

Are they not beautiful?  The one on the left was laid this morning by Rita, the dark one is from yesterday.

Below is a photo of the two eggs laid by my ladies and beside them one out of a dozen I purchased from the farm stand down the road...I can't even imagine the girls producing something that size! Maybe next year

And finally....the end result

Eggs, perfectly poached (and eaten to quickly to photograph) served on homemade brown toast, doesn't get much better then that, yum!

The end...

...to another lovely weekend

Beautiful old dogs, love them

Great end of summer photo of 14 year old Bailey. 

This girl is in the pedigree of so many Dinsdale Schnauzers, she is Mom to Cutter & Hope, sired by Ch.Oakwood Simply Simon, Mom of Fiddle, sired by Ch.Dinsdale Rules of Engagement, Mom of Rosie, sired by Ch.Dinsdale Vision Quest.  Her progeny have contributed immensely to my breeding program.  Bailey lives in Edmonton with friends and is chugging along, she had a few health scares early in the year but has enjoyed her summer.  Bailey's mom was my beloved Jewels.
Fun to receive photos of the old ones from the owners of our dogs, it's not all about the puppies, in the long run it's barely about the puppies at all.
