    YIPPEEE...Our First Egg

    Welp, either the stress of their moving is over or one of em just couldn't hold it back anymore but I came out to check the nest when I got home and guess what!! I got an egg!! so what now? The kids had a blast "finding it" but I cant wait to find some more and hope the other hen starts laying.
