It seems like just a few months ago that Margo came into our lives. (she is the cutie on the left).
Well, this week she blossomed into the beautiful, fecund female we had hoped for.
The proof is in the pudding.
Yep, her very first two included a double.
Over medium please…
Heh. My gf sent me the picture this morning as she was preparing her breakfast. She is strictly dippy, so sunny-side up.
Does Margo know you’re gonna eat her babies … and eventually her?
We do not have a rooster, the hens are all virgins.
And we will never consume her. She was purchased to replace a postmenopausal hen who, after a lifetime of egg-laying, lived a life of leisure until succumbing to old age.
They are pets, not farm animals. Raised in the house, hand-fed mealworms, etc. When a stray dog tore one up a few years ago, my gf paid a $375 vet bill to have the hen put back together.
My brother had two pet hens, which I think started out as Easter chicks.
He named them Original Recipe and Extra Crispy.
(They were pets though. He didn’t eat them.)
My significant other paid $400 vet bill for $5 worth of antibiotics when one of our chickens wasn’t looking good. She recovered but still hasn’t laid another egg in the 4 years since the vet visit… but she remains top in pecking order???
IME a hen that stops laying often rules the roost. If estrogen levels are low, background testosterone levels can affect behavior. Post menopausal hens sometimes crow and fight, typical male traits.
Our neighbors had two pigs last year, Peaches & Cream. We helped eat them.
Way to go Margo!
Double yolks are lucky!
sounds like a lovely life for a beautiful chicken and bonus, breakfast! 
congratulations to all! 
Vestal chickens?
