Thereβs still quite a bit of variation in the shapes & sizes of #chicken #eggs weβre getting! The girls are still young, so the eggs should get more uniform over the next few months π₯

Finally finished fixing up the coop! π Before & after pics below. I pressure-washed the interior, disinfected, repainted everything, rebuilt the roosts, sanded and repainted the nest boxes, filled & caulked all gaps, and the girls finally moved in yesterday!
