I just got my first egg! Louise came in first place with a green egg about 15 minuts ago. That's my girl!

Today is my EIGHTEENTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY and my dear husband and best friend is deployed overseas, so I woke up a little bummed out.

This year I ordered my first chicks ever and they came on February 7th. Watching them grow has helped me mark the time my husband has been away. I knew that any day now, I would begin to see activity.

Sure enough, today at noon when I was fussing in the coop...a small, orphaned green egg lay alone on the floor in the corner. It was dirty. It had a hairline crack in it, but it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

I scooped up my startled pullet, hugged the stuffing out of her and sobbed like a little girl.

Gifts are where you find them.



*** Sorry, no photos -- too busy being the sole butcher, baker, and candlestick maker to figure out the uploading just now. Just look at Gardengirl 2011's beautiful prize up thread.....identical in color, size and perfect shape--only much dirtier***

little miracles in our days. I understand I myself am battling cancer and my chickens are a source of relaxation and love for me. When I feel well enough I just sit out with them.

1st Egg! 16 weeks. Whoo-hoo!!!!

RIR x white rock hybrids. My 10 yr old daughter and her first chickens. 17 hens, 3 roosters.

The egg is small, but shell is strong and color is good. They surprised her this am, we weren't expecting eggs for another 2 weeks or so at least!

We gotta get the nest boxes in right away. It was on this week's to-do list.

We'll also go out today and get layer to start mixing in with the last of the grower.

And an egg bucket. And get the egg cartons we've been saving organized. And clean out the dorm fridge for eggs...and...and...and... oooohhhh-yeahhhh!

My Peggy Sue (the first of my three) was also the first to lay an egg! A beautiful little brown , slightly speckled egg.

THE egg!
