Happy Holidays! big_smile

For Christmas, my only chicken-ish gift was ... my Buff Orp named Sunny laid her very 1st egg love

She was practicing a couple of days in a row and I thought Christmas Eve she would give us an egg, but it didn't happen.
Christmas morning ... went out to check the nest box ... there was her 1st egg!
Such a fantastic gift, Sunny is super special now hugs and she laid another egg today too.

Happy Hen smile that is hay placed into her wing in the photo above!
Bonnie (our other Orp) likes to pick-up and drop wood shavings onto her wings & back.
Sunny must have learned it from watching Bonnie (she's been watching Bonnie daily)
~though Bonnie hasn't tucked any hay in (the hay is only in the nest box, not on the floor).
So interesting! We are so proud woot
and happy that we're going to have double the amount of eggs now too!

i have them in my dinning room in a plastic dog crate with food and water, the crate they were in had bigger holes where the baby could slip out of, so i moved them to the plastic one where the holes are smaller and in a way its safer
