My friend's daughter sold 3 of her 4-H chickens for $700 this summer and I thought she did pretty good, this is even better! Congrats!

Congrats on a beautiful olive egg. As someone said “priceless”. Yesterday we got our first eggs (2 tiny pullet eggs) from Coop #2. Ladies in coop #1 are laying larger eggs now. One or two are laying jumbo eggs every few days. They do not even fit in the carton. We do have a new layer in Coop #1 as she left it on the ground this morning. Her coop sisters will train her.

I got my first egg today! I am jokingly calling it my $1,200 egg since that's how much I've spent to get this far I suspect it is from my olive egger Roxy I ran out to show my husband in my pajamas

What was so special about these chickens that she could ask this price??

This is some of what they call Chicken Math. The baby chicks are so cute and cheap until you start building a coop buying food and then toys. In northern climates you then realize you need to spend more to keep water from freezing and the costly modifications to the coop to give them a space to keep the snow and wind from turning them into snow chickens.

You alway remember your first egg!

First eggs are very special! Its a shame my first layer passed away due to egg problems, that started at a very young age. Then progressed.

I kept the shells from my first eggs and labeled them by their weight. Fun to see the progress!

Remember, each time another egg comes in the cost of the eggs get cut in half. Your second egg will be $600.

I do this with our seasons ski pass. The first ski costs $400, the second ski is 200...
