our first ever...

Went to do my daily cleaning of the coop, feeding, and watering. Looked over in a corner and OMG!

Our first egg!


I know, I am such a chicken nerd to be celebrating our first egg. But it makes me feel like a proud mother and gives me a sense of accomplishment.

 All we need now is a few more and then we can cook up an omelet .ha ha ha!

    My dogs eat up most of our eggs. When I took them for their shots last time the Vet said they were getting obese off the eggs!

    It's good to be able to produce your own food. Your first chicken egg is a milestone.

      it is a milestone, because we raised these chicks from the day they hatched, and I am happy I did not end up killing any along the way..lol

      we sort of know... but given the fact they would rather sit on the top of their nesting boxes to roost at night instead of nesting in the boxes, does make it bit challanging..

      Yes you do. Chickens serve three purposes : For Meat, for eggs, and poop for fertilizer...
