...I'D BE SO EXCITED FOR OUR 1ST EGG!

Did a flock check when I got home this afternoon and found this perfect little egg hiding behind the nest boxes

Raising chicks was such a fun experience, but it's so great to see all the hard work pay off!

Congrats on your first egg!

Yay! For the next week or so it'll feel like Christmas everyday.

Even if they'd told you it would still be a delightful surprise! Congratulations!

Even after having chickens for years, every egg is a gift, and it kinda feels like your birthday when you gather them.

Yes, it's a wonder!

It's so exciting!!

I have one egg layer, who I rescued along with her 3-4 weeks old chicks. She didn't lay with us for three weeks. When I found her first egg I physically jumped back and said to myself "ahhhh where did that come from?" Which of course is ridiculous. Every single day I thank her personally: "Thanks for the eggy Belle. What a good girl you are."

I may have spent waaayyyyy to much time deciding on which type of egg skelter or storage option I should use. For a single daily egg lol.

Rest assured that your cost per egg will decrease as you amortize the coop, run, and learning curve over the coming years
