Ha ha!  Thought it was a joke at first since all I saw was the yellow plastic egg!  ROFL!  Then I saw the real one.  Congrats!  How many weeks have you been waiting?  I've been waiting about 23 weeks for my 2 girls to lay.  Still nothing!

Our four oldest girls were day old chicks on March 1st. The other six were hatched first couple days in April. Seems like years!!!

Congrats!  We got our first ever egg today too!  Our 21-week old BO Sunny laid a cute little egg. I cant believe I was lucky enough to catch her there.  She even waited long enough for me to run and get a camera.

 

 

 

 

First chicks arrived 4/6/12. Second wave on 5/11/13. 1 Buff Orpington, 2 EEs, 2 Barred Rocks, 2 RIRs.  Coop is officially expanded. Still loving it!  Is it time for Tom Yum Noodle?

We got our first 2 first eggs yesterday morning too! Cracked and soft shelled, but it was an amazing discovery. Do it again girls!
