This is a chicken o***y. In theory, each one of the round dots (ova) could have developed into a yolk and eventually an egg. But this came from an old hen who wasn’t laying anymore. It’s fascinating to see how many ova she had left. She stopped laying because her body was old, not because she ran out of potential eggs.

Chickens develop with two ovaries, but when the female chick hatches, the right o***y stops developing while the left one continues to mature. The o***y contains thousands of tiny ova. They take their turn growing into a yolk. Then one breaks off to enter the oviduct where the albumen (egg white), s***m (if present), chalazae (white stringy stuff that holds the yolk in the middle of the egg), shell membranes, and shell are added. The entire process takes 24-26 hours.

In case you didn’t know, you don’t need a rooster to get eggs, eggs won’t turn into a chick if you don’t have a rooster, and fertilized eggs won’t develop unless incubated for 21 days at 100F with high humidity.

And now you can tell your friends that you only eat chicken eggs from left ovaries!

Tis the season. We are officially in the heart of kiddding season… I think that we had one of the hardest and longest births ever on the farm, so far. It was an exhausting 12 hours that resulted in a bottle baby… we are naming her Miracle. After the very hard and long labor we were thankful she was still alive….hence her name.

Be on the look out for more pictures of the new babies! 🤍

Mia, our loyal protector of all of our animals here on the farm. It’s feeding time and she’s Mongst the herd ready for dinner.

This life is truly one we wake up every single day and so thankful for the blessings Gods given to us.
