Sunny-side up!
Lookie lookie what we got!!!
Our first egg! We've been waiting since June on this and starting to think it would never happen. But Monday af
ternoon when I took food up to the chickens, there it was...A little brown egg laying all by itself in the nest box. And then again yesterday afternoon, another sweet little egg waiting to be collected. I saved the first egg to show Paul when he gets home, but this morning I fried that second one up and devoured it myself! One egg a day isn't going to quite cut it for this household, though. So hopefully that little hen will have a talk with the other gals up there and we can start collecting a couple more. We wound up with 4 hens out of 10 chicks, but we'll be putting the extra roosters to use soon hopefully.

it oh so well! It is so exciting to see that first egg and then you can't wait for more. I have 5 hens and am still only getting 3 eggs a day, but...it is definitely better than none. CONGRATS on your egg!

Oh yummy. I wish we could have chickens but we're currently having a family dispute about whose responsibility they would be. I love fresh eggs, so yummy.
I have a few clients who have chickens so sometimes we barter and that's really fun... bartering old fashioned style!
