First $400 egg

[McCash40]

My first egg came today without fanfair. 20 weeks and 2 days. Only one seemed ready and after I showed her the nesting box, she proceded to give me a nice sized brown egg. She's a RIR. Hopefully there will be more soon.

Yes the first is always the most expensive. After that they are all free! Or at least that is what I tell myself.

First $400 egg? What does that mean?

I think thats how much she has spent so far? am I right? what do I win...

You got off cheap! I think my first egg will cost close to $2000!

That number is totally due to chicken math!

$2000 OMG DW would divorce me if I spent that much!

I swear it's not my fault. Started with four chicks, for $24, one chicken tractor at about $400 and then I wanted more! It's all the chickens fault!! They are just too cute to have only four, right??!!

I don't know if the eggs get any cheaper!!
Spent $40 yesterday on feed and wood shavings.
Out of the six girls at the moment only one is laying

But yeah I will continue to kid myself that I am saving money

Yeah, seriously. When I read $400, I thought the OP was spreading the cost among a clutch of eggs.

Congrats on your first egg. Many more to follow!
