Back From Egg Laying Hiatus

Mom had a nice surprise when she went out to check on the chickens...a brown egg!! Pearl has been molting, growing new feathers, so she stopped laying eggs to allow her body more energy for making feathers. Well yesterday she ended her break! This is very egg-citing. Her eggs will be a bit scrawny until her body gets used to laying eggs again. It's going to be nice to see extra color in our egg cartons.


I wonder if this egg would be thrown out if she were on an industrial egg laying farm??
