Talk about timing!

Just came in from collecting eggs. Same routine, different day. However something happened that has never happened to me before. See Bonnie? Well, her behind shot. Bonnie is insistent on being broody and wanting to hatch eggs. She has been trying to sit on the other hens eggs as well as her own.

See this egg? Nothing unusual about. But, there is a little story about this egg.

As I was collecting eggs, I put my hand under Bonnie to feel for eggs and the next thing I know, she laid this egg right into the palm of my hand! Yup, just plopped it right on out. I have never had that happen before. And am extremely grateful it wasn't poo she plopped out!!!

Until next time....................

The First.............Egg!!!!!

This afternoon I heard all this commotion coming from the chicken coop. Stew Pot ( the rooster) was carrying on and on. The girls were cackling up a storm. Uh oh, better go check to see what the heck is going on. When I walked in, I saw Jan ( the beautiful girl pictured here) panting and moving  around a lot. Kind of like she couldn't get comfortable. Then she stood up and I saw........... 

this most magnificent egg under her!!!!  Wooohooo!!!! This is the very first egg. Isn't it wonderful? It is so clean. I thought the first few eggs would be, well, dirty. I am so proud of Jan. She is a big girl now.

These are a few of my girls. They are almost five months old. Wonder if there will another surprise tomorrow!!!!


Until next time........................
