Congrats! Collect them often, don't feel guilty! You can give a treat if you like, they will never turn down treats.

Eggs in the nest making hens go broody is a myth. If a hen is set on brooding, she will sit whether there are eggs or not. But chickens are curious creatures, and they peck at things they are curious about, so you don't want them breaking the egg.

She basically laid that thing and went back into the yard! I did go bring her some treats, well all of them anyhow! Even though this is the first egg, I am probably going to continue being excited every time! It's so neat! I have been saving egg cartons since March!
