Who else is waiting for that first egg?

[Mutt Farm]

Got first egg today. How exciting, I feel like I want to take out a full page ad in the paper so everyone will know. Not sure who it belongs to, have it narrowed down to 3. Small but oh so dang cute. I can't believe how exciting it was to find it, worth the wait and worrying.

Right?

$1000. egg! Late to the party! FIRST EGG!!! FINALLY! BO 22 wks old. Perfect egg. If it helps other expecting chicken moms, She had really red comb and wattles for 4 weeks, started squatting last week. (what I first thought was squatting before that wasn't). Showed NO interest in the nest boxes before laying. 6 boxes, 2 with fake eggs. Nothing disturbed until 2 days ago, Never saw her in a box till this am, She laid her egg in a box without a fake egg. Hope my other girls get on board so this one egg didn't really cost that much! Chicken Math!

OMG I have never seen them done up so nicely before. May have to copy your chick ones. The middle ones look to hard for me to do.

You could easily do the middle ones! All you need is a piping bag with a large star! Google it!

Ok so how do you get the mixture smooth. I always struggle with that part. I love deviled eggs but mine are always lumpy.
( I am self taught on all the cooking I do) Never had a mentor or anyone teach me anything about cooking. I can make some pretty darn complicated and delish items but the simpler ones frustrate me at times. Peeling eggs is one that makes me nuts.

I know, got my first egg yesterday, and am just excited today waiting to see if I get another one today. If anyone would have told me that I was going to be this wacko crazy over these chickens I would have thought they were crazy. I have to go somewhere today, and I just want to stay home and wait for that next egg...
