EGGS, EGGS, EGGS....

Well, the chicks turned 4 months old on July 24th.  Glitter surprised us all with a very special birthday gift - her first, as well as our first, EGG!  Oh the excitement!  I think the kids are still in awe that the chicks have begun their duties.  At once this seemed so far away, and now that it is here, Lexi had to call anyone she could think of, to share the BIG news!  LOL  (Maybe you got a call?)

So, Sunday was Glitter's day.  Then Monday, Double Stuff laid her first egg! 

We are up to 4 eggs, as of today.  It is certainly just the beginning of our next chapter in chicken farming.  We continue to learn as we go!  


The song that the hens sing is quite memorable.  Farmer Bob tried prepping us for this song, but I don't think we truly knew what we were listening for.  However, now that we have experienced it, we are able to tell when to check our hen boxes for fresh eggs.  

The size of the eggs is also pretty neat.  They are still mini eggs at the moment.  In comparison to store bought eggs, which is all most people know, these eggs are easily half the size.  With time, these eggs will increase in size.
