I am so excited! Had to share with some people who understand the joy! I got my first eggs today. 2 girls laid little brown eggs for me. I suspect it was the Dominiques. The long talk in the coop worked this morning. Also stopped and bought 2 dozen eggs from a roadside market on the way home. They must have sensed my distress!

Gratz!! The first eggs are always exciting.

You could have them "blown" (the contents removed) and shellac them, then put them in the trophy case. I'm serious! There is someone on the crafts forum who knows how to do it. Here is one thread I've found: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=160244

Trophy case for the eggs sounds great! My family will really be ready to commit me after I tell them these plans. Those first eggs should be put in a showcase as much as they have cost me!!!

Isn't it great to have eggs. Moral to the story---give them those pep talks and get results! lol!
