Countdown to the first egg. Buckle up, it could be awhile....

Still waiting on my 6 month olds to feel like laying. Lazy fat birds. We spoil them too much.

Isn’t that the truth?! I was out scooping poop and giving them some mealworm treats when I shot this picture!!!

this is my girl who’s laying! i just came in from getting her egg, she lays around 11-12pm every day. i’m not 100% sure what breeds any of mine are! all three are mixes, im incredibly bad at coming up with names so right now only my top hen (the one in the pics) has one that started off as a joke with my mom, but grew on me. we’ve been calling her gobble guts because she steals all the treats and has the biggest personality out of all three haha

Gobble Gut is an AMAZING name! She’s very pretty! Nice hair-do with her giant comb!!

i’ll take any chance i can to share pictures of my babies haha! they experienced snow for the first time today and definitely are not into it. but these are my other two, pictures taken a week or two ago so combs n such have gotten redder since then. i absolutely love taking front on, close up pictures if you couldn’t tell. my girls are so used to it now that they usually pose for the camera. the last two are my lil silkie cockerels who turn 7 weeks tomorrow i think

I’d love to have a bantam flock one day! Including silkies! So absolutely adorable

DAY 21! A GLORIOUS DAY!

Nicey- the most friendly, treat obsessed chicken of the bunch laid her very first (and my very first) egg! SHES SERIOUSLY THE BEST!

I got to snatch it from the nest box before it was cool

here’s is little eggy’s photo shoot:

Size comparison with store bought-

SERIOUSLY ITS SO PERFECT I CANT EVEN CALM DOWN

Love this little eggy

Now the real question... what do I do with it?? Did you all eat your first egg? Save it? Put it in a shadow box and hang it on the wall next to your wedding photo? I CANT BELIEVE IT HAPPENED

It seems so anticlimactic to wait so long for something and eat it, but I think I’ll do it! SO COOL
