March babies have started laying!!!!

Man, this just never gets old for me!

These are my 4th "first egg"....and I am as thrilled as I was on July 27 last year with my 1st first egg. I knew it was coming, of course, but was surprised anyway because these girls have started sooner than the ones before. 18 weeks!

The egg in the middle is from one of the older girls....just for scale. I forget how tiny they are at first because I get so used to regular size!!

So exciting! I'm looking forward to getting eggs from our newbies too (hatched in May) even though we already have more eggs than we can eat from our big girls.

Nope, never gets old. My daughter likes to put the eggs in the cartons (3.5 years old). Every time she gets a pullet egg she says "look mommy, this one is little like me." Yeah, that won't get old either.

Never! Criminy, I still get excited when I collect big girl's eggs! It's a treat every day to find eggs in the nest boxes.

I now what you mean. I can't eat all the eggs I get so I share them with my Aunt and Uncle, and my cousins. They can't have chickens, but are "hooked" on my eggs now!

That is so sweet! I wish I had chickens when my kids were little. But, I have friends with little ones and it truly is fun when they visit and help me collect eggs! Nope, doesn't get old.
