Definitely happy and thankfully that they are all healthy and happy chickens it's been a learning experience! We nursed a sick lavender back to health after a horrible respiratory and worm illness, lost one to a dog attack and another to sickness. I've done so much research and reading on chicken topics than I ever thought I would lol but this forum and other chicken websites have been a saving grace I hope we are lucky enough to keep our girls as long as you have! which breeds do you have?Don't think for a second that the exciting needs to end with the first one you find...but congrats on that one...and..when you have older hens that get up in the years like some of my older girls are....the first egg they lay in the Spring when the days get longer (I don't use extra light during winter) are really something special when the hens are 8 years old...keeping them laying longer, has a lot to do with what you decide in regards to supplemental lighting and the longevity of laying...just sayin is all.
Keep havin fun.
