the first egg


One of our hens left us a present yesterday morning. Our first egg! Never have I appreciated an egg more. It is such a little miracle.

Here's hoping it's the first of many.

Wow! That looks beautiful!

Yay! You should be getting tons before too long. My mom only has four chickens, and gets about 20 eggs a week. You are going to be getting LOTS of eggs.

What breed of chicken are you raising for eggs? Something we want to do?
Pretty picture!

Enjoy! You will never go back to store bought eggs again. Home-grown eggs are simply the best tasting eggs ever!

Sammy came home yesterday telling us all about your ten chickens. Congratulations on your first egg! Makes me want to get some chickens.

You are right-such a miracle. Bet the kiddos were excited. You will get bookoo egs and probably enough to supply friends with too.

How exciting! I hope to raise chickens in the future. Our family had chickens when I was a child, and it's one of the best things they could have done for me. So much fun with the chickens, and spending time with my siblings. I would love to do chickens now that I have my own little family. So fun!
