    GOT MY FIRST EGG YESTERDAY!

    I'm new to chickens and bought 6 hens a month ago and JUST got my first 4 eggs in the last 5 days. I'm pretty sure it's just one of the six so I'm (IM)patiently waiting on the others to catch on! My husband doesn't share my enthusiasm and feels honey aren't earning their keep...lol
