"Can you believe it's been ... what, six months since we last had Chinese? So I brought home the same as usual. Orange Beef."
"I thought about ordering something different, but, I'd still be there. Still undecided."

"Mouse laid an egg today. I did tell you, she laid one Friday?"
"I should have expected it; I just bought a  dozen the other day."
"Of course, Snowball tried to claim it was hers. That bird is seriously missing a few brain cells."

"If you love someone ... You know, I still hear that song in my head."

" I played it over and over for you that last night."
"And I played it again for you the next morning."
        "If you love somebody, set them free."

"What's your cat complaining about now?"

          "She's not my cat."

"Ah, you spoiled her rotten. So now the princess is your cat!"

"I think she smells Orange Beef and wants some lap time."

"Good night."

Our Egg laying Machines

Chicken Cacciatore, (Chickie), and Henrietta, (Hennie), are egg laying machines! At twenty five weeks they are still pullets. The first egg was only a month ago and now they each lay an egg a day. The breed is Bovan Brown.

Chickie is a little sloppy where she deposits her morning egg so I put a large large darning-egg in one of the nest boxes hoping she'd take the hint. Well she took the hint alright. Maybe she thought she had competition because this morning she layed a colossal egg. Not just a large pullet egg but the biggest chicken egg I have ever seen. It is more than 2-1/2 inches in length and weighs a quarter of a pound! Easily twice the size of an extra large egg. It's much too large to fit in an egg carton.
