We got our 1st egg today!!! ~ Friday was day one of 17 wks, so we have been keeping our eyes peeled, thinking that surely any day now... AND IT HAPPENED TODAY! YEAAHHH!!!
Of course, it was lying over by the waterer, as though she had been getting a drink and just plopped it out where ever she happened to be. After all that work of making sure that there were 3 nest boxes ~ all padded with fresh pine shavings ~ put in the nice cool end of the coop ~ ....
Hmm ~ do you think this is a trend? Will they eventually get the idea of the nest box? Was it a lost cause of wasted space? Will we forever have to dig around in the unhappy dregs of the chicken coop floor?
Still ~ our first egg!!!! YEEAHHHH!
