I'm starving and we have no eggs in the house--which is rare since I buy 3 dozen at a time. So my husband says "Well, let me go out and see if the girls have any". I snicker and say "Yeah--good luck with that..." The girls were hatched on Memorial Day and although I check daily, still nothing. I'd given up on getting eggs before Thanksgiving.
Lo and behold, he comes in with our VERY FIRST EGG! It wasn't in the nesting box, but on the wire floor under the roosts. No clue how long it's been there since I haven't checked that area in days. Perfect in every way. I just know it had to be either Henrietta (BR) or Piccata (Australorp) since they matured first (by the color of their combs).
