Isn't it awesome? I, too, was lucky to witness the "first egg" being laid! It was miraculous! Just like you, I thought something was wrong at first and just kept an eye on her then all of a sudden, she stood, wobbled a bit and there it came. I actually saw it come out!!!
And I agree with BigDaddysGurl....Finding eggs in the nest boxes just does NOT get old!!!
Wow! How exciting is that! You did a great job capturing the special moment with your camera. I can't wait to get our first egg. It should be any day now (I'm hoping!!). I just love Buff Orpingtons. I have 3.
It was amazing to get to witness the first egg ever being layed. This is our first
time doing chickens so I can say that I have now see my first chicken lay and egg.
It is even better since they are the chickens that we are raising. I now have collected
3 since then. Like one poster said, it does not get old!!!
