    I got my FIRST EGG

    At 11 PM EST today I went out to get my rooster and put in my garage for the night. I thought it would be the usual, but then I find this tiny EGG sitting in the corner!! My heart sank and wow was I excited! I can't believe one already started laying since there only 5-6 months old?! Anyway, woohoo!
