Back from Vegas, Jackpot at home

[mom'sfolly]

I just got back from my first ever girls weekend. We went to Las Vegas and had a great time, but the real jackpot came when I got home. I came home, had lunch and looked at the chicken girls. Shiner had got out of the tractor again, so I went to look for her. I found her in the coop, having just laid her first egg!

She looked a little confused, and stressed (beak opened and panting) so I picked her up, praised her and got her a fresh drink of water. Our first ever egg!

And it wasn't under the nasty, thorny rose bush! And she waited for me to get home. Wohoo! Yipee! Thanks everyone for the golfball/fake egg advice; I was really dreading the rosebush. Boy am I excited!

I love getting the first egg! It's like a surprise present.

Congrats to your girl!
