Woo Hoo my first egg!

[harleyjo]

I got my first egg today.

I think it is one of my black sex links. They are nineteen weeks today. I thought they were 19 last week but I recounted and it is today. I am sure the rest will be starting soon. We also heard the rooster crow for the first time! Can we eat these first eggs?

We ate our first eggs. As long as they are not soft - or too terribly dirty I don't see why not. Look at the shells - are they hard, even, etc. If so - go for it!

First eggs are the best!

If you are as obsessed about your "Babies" as I am, you can preserve the mini egg shells by putting a small hole in the top and bottom and blow the insides into a bowl! Yay for you!!!!!!!!!!

(I wouldn't worry at all about egg shell condition, I would eat any egg that my chickens produce! Even eggs with soft shell are fine to eat)

Congratulations!! And absolutely, the first egg is no different from the next hundred, it may even seem to taste better b/c it's your first!

Enjoy!!

I got our second egg today too! Here's the post on my website Sunday about our first egg http://www.betterhensandgardens.com/2010/08/29/first-egg/comment-page-1/#comment-1134 It's such a good feeling to see them grow up, and then start giving eggs too.

I just love it.... and then to hear the rooster crowing when we got home was fun too!
