We had an amazing surprise when we checked the chicken coop yesterday: our very first egg!
I was so excited that I screamed out "We got an egg!" to no one in particular quite like a maniac. The kids came running and couldn't wait to take turns looking at the egg where it was laid in the nesting box and then holding it. Once we had taken loads of pictures, we called a couple of friends to spread the news. It really was a big day.
The egg did get cracked slightly on one end when it dropped into the nesting box, but still it is a beautiful thing. And I am so proud that the hen (a white leghorn by the way) knew to lay it in the nesting box!
