The nest box was empty so I thought I was mistaken about hearing an egg-laying bawk. As I refilled the chicken feeder, I happened to glance up and realized the silly girl laid her egg on top of the coop! Which of our four hens? We suspect Norma Jean because her comb and wattle are largest and reddest. Not because she's my favorite, not at all.
The egg is a lovely deep brown, very petite in size compared to our large store-bought eggs.
Proud chicken mama,

Hope your weekend treats you well!!
Well congratulations!!! I know how you feel. My mom got a chicken house for Mothers day and she was just the way you are when she got her first egg. She has 4 hens and now we cannot eat them fast enough. Thanks for sharing. FYI... my mother gives them watermelon these hot days and they love it!!!
ReplyDeleteYahoo! I would be freaking out too if all of the sudden one of those popped out!!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will savor every bite...
On another note Blue Ridge mentioned watermelon, the girls seem to like it but cantaloupe... get out of the way:)
Congratulations, you're a grandmother!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!!! Wait, you will soon have more!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cindy S
