The long awaited first egg finally arrived!!!! I went out to move the chicken tractor this evening and opened the door on the house side, not expecting anything, and there it was! A tiny little brown egg.  Honestly, from my shock and surprise, you'd have thought I had given up on the idea that my chickens were ever going to produce anything! I think I may have screeched in excitement... I was so excited, you'd have thought I was directly responsible for the egg. But the chickens weren't that impressed, so somebody had to be tripping over themselves in excitement!! I guess that responsibility fell to me.  (Remember, this is someone who's never been around chickens, and knows that eggs come from the refrigerator section at the grocery store!)Of course, Murphy's Law states that the chicken(s) will start laying immediately after the owner of said chicken(s) has purchased an 18-count carton of eggs from the grocery store.  Here is the little, tiny first egg and the fresh-from-the-store egg. The store egg looks huge, but it's just normal size. The brown one is just tiny (and cute... can an egg be cute?  ) |
