Finally! I never thought I'd be so excited to see an egg in my life. Peeking in that nest box and seeing that beautiful light brown egg sitting there was the highlight of my day yesterday. After 21 weeks of (not so) patient waiting our chickens are finally laying. I only found one yesterday, but I expect the other hens to start soon. They had perfect timing too. Regina was going to pick up a carton of eggs at the store this morning. I'm sure she'll sail by that section with a smile on her face this morning. In 3 weeks we'll have fresh milk in the fridge, fresh butter on toast, fresh eggs for breakfast, fresh pork in the freezer and fresh chicken for dinner. Yum!
