New Egg Layer

 Busy Day

    Yesterday was pretty busy.  One of my chickens laid her first egg, I worked on a Marine Corps flag for a customer and I worked on an over size Oak TV table.  

    My first group of chickens have been laying for a while.  I got a second batch about six weeks later and three more chickens about four weeks later still.  The youngest chickens are Polish chickens that have a bunch of feathers on their head that stands up.  I caught one on the nest right after she laid an egg a few days ago.  Yesterday I got an egg I am sure came from the second batch of chickens.  The second batch is Olive Eggers and they lay green eggs.  I found a very tiny (for a chicken) green egg.  Typically the first egg is small, this is the smallest one I ever saw.  It is about the size of a ping pong ball.

In The Shop

In shop working on my over size Oak TV table.  I rounded over all the corners and sanded it down. Then I started applying polyurethane finish.  I got two coats on the legs and bottom of the table top.  I am letting them dry over night.  Same for the Marine Corps flag two coats on the back and let it dry over night.

TV Table and legs all Oak.

Pet Chickens

 Greetings

    I hope everyone is doing well.  Along with my workshop have quite a few pet chickens that I keep for the eggs.  I bought some polish chickens around six months ago and I think they have started laying.  I found one in the nest box and she fussed when I opened the lid.  An hour or so later I checked back and she was just leaving the nest to head back outside.  I found a brand new warm egg in the nest.

In the Shop

    In the shop today I was taking it easy with two jobs in mind.  I had to finish painting and sanding a flag for a customer and I am working on an Oak TV table for my wife.  I cut the legs for the table and fastened one end.  The end that sits on the floor has to be cut at an angle.  I installed the legs, and then set the table up on my work bench.  Using a flat pencil and block of wood I marked the legs for cutting.

    Once marked I can then cut all of the legs to match and let the table sit flush on the floor and level.

    That is all for today.  Thanks for reading the Blog.  Here is a short video of my fans.  Actually they are fans of anyone with the potential to feed them.
