Just yesterday I was passing on congrats! to a fellow chicken lover who got her 1st egg. And, guess what! when I got home last night and promptly went out to say HI to the girls there was this beautiful small brown egg!!! I think that maybe my Single Comb Brown Leghorn laid it since she was coming back into the coop and going for the nesting box and she has been sitting in there in the mornings when I come out to check on them. So exiciting - don't even want to crack it open.
 
I thought brown leghorns laid white eggs?

But

When my girls laid their first eggs, I couldn't bear to crack them either. So I blew them and washed them out and have them in a bowl in the kitchen... I plan to make a little kitchen hanging ornament from them when I have time.

Thanks for the great idea mylittlezoo - I think I will do that. Also, thank you to sangel4you - you are correct brown leghorns do lay white eggs (I'm still a newbie and forgot that fact) so guess it is a mystery as to who was the first!
