Our Arucana’s have started laying!!

It is so exciting – we were away last weekend, and came home to one lone blue egg nestled into a nesting box.  The next day there was none, but then the day after that we got two!  It varied for a few days, but now we are consistently getting 3 blue eggs a day!  They are quite small eggs – not sure if they will stay small, as the hens are quite small, or if they will get bigger once the hens have laid a few.  I know this happens with some other breeds- there first few eggs are small.  The eggs they hatched out from were full-sized, so fingers crossed!
