My boys, the neighbor's daughter, and I were hanging out in the front yard today, waiting for my husband to get home. I told them that I thought we would have our first egg within the next couple of days.
Husband arrives home and comes to visit us by the compost pile, looks down at my feet and says, "Is that an egg?" It was lying right on the ground right beside me!
So here's our first egg, likely from our Silver Cuckoo Marans, "Poulette". She will be 19 weeks old tomorrow and started squatting about a week ago.
There was much rejoicing by the three oldest children, and we had a "parade" down to see Grammie and show her our prize.
