I told my husband I wanted to keep a few of my favorite shells like the first egg the first green hopefully a first blue. Im pretty sure he thinks im weird. Hes the lucky one though I have done all the hard work with these chickens from day one they are my girls and he happened to find the very first egg last week. I said you know what thats ok I can still be so excited because I can find the first EE egg... NOPE hubby found that green one yesterday to while I was out at my sisters house. He actually accidentally scared the chicken out of her nest box mid lay while he was checking for eggs she ran right out of the coop and oops laid the egg in the middle of the run he scooped it up quick because all the chickens got interested and tried to peck it he said. I hope that doesnt scare her from trying the nest box again today. With any luck for me one of the other EEs will lay a different color and maybe just maybe ill get to find that one first.
