    First Egg from Our First Flock!

    This lady has had me so worried for the past few days, she has been very vocal, irritable, running around, going in and out of the coop, and today she started laying! She is one of six chicks we received in September 2021 from McMurray Hatchery! The first to lay, super proud of her!!!
