My very first egg!

I am a first time chicken owner, and today, I get to have a fresh egg for breakfast for the first time! I was so excited I woke my boyfriend up to show him, posted it to Facebook, and now here as well, lol. I was starting to think it would never happen!

I think my Barred Rock is the responsible party, she was still hanging in the nest box when I found this.

I'm still waiting...and waiting.... I guess it really does happen some day.

Congratulations!

Congratulations,
I have been getting eggs for years and it is still egg-citing, just like a treasure hunt.
There will be many more I am sure.

Snatched that egg while it was still warm, eh? Good work!

I assume she is an adult you got recently since that is a LARGE egg?? I can remember my 1st chickens first eggs(plural because had a few pullets at the time) and the eggs were tiny and it made me worry something was wrong with my girls.Took them a few trys to produce larger eggs.
