Maylene has come of age and so has her 1st egg!!

Maylene is my red cochin, 4.5 months old and laid her first egg today!
She is named after my best friends MIL who has to have weekly reports on her namesake. (she is in a rest home) so after laying her very first egg yesterday we decided to do something special with the egg and send it to her for Christmas.

Meet Maylene

Her first egg which is very small!

And after it was decorated.

For other egg art ideas that you can do, check out my website for many of my Faberge' style eggs.

Wow, you did a beautiful job decorating Maylene's first egg!

Thank you for the compliments. Yes the 1st egg is exciting although this is Maylene's 1st egg. My big girls have been laying for almost a year and I can still remember the rush over seeing that very first egg. My family thought I was crazy when I sent them all photos of it in my hand! LOL!

I remember our first egg in November. i was so excited

Then the next day the next girl and so on. I went out to the coop, called in all the girls and we had a coming of age talk. I think it went well. I am glad i dont have a daughter to really have the talk with.

Congratulations!!
