Today is an exciting day! When I went outside early this morning to let the chickens outside I was raking around the bedding on the inside of the coop and found the first egg! I have an idea which one laid the first egg but I don't know for sure. Of course it wasn't in the nest boxes....I found it on the floor! It had a few scratches (but not any cracks in the shell, just scratches from the sticks on the floor) on it and is small like the first eggs are, but was completely clean! I took some pictures!
This picture is the first egg next to a store bought white egg. Just for size comparison....the first few eggs that chickens lay are small...but they'll get bigger after a few small ones I think.
Hooray!! I was planning on writing a blog today about something else, I guess I'll save that one for another time! Thanks for reading and check back soon!
