First Egg from our Chickens

Finally, Our chicken laid a first egg.
The chicken is still small so the egg was tiny too, but it was fresh.
It was a brown egg.
It had a beautiful sun color yolk.

It started in late morning. Brown chicken started to make a funny noise.
Kimberly sensed something.
"I bet the chicken is ready to lay an egg!"
She brought a cardboard box for the chicken to sit in it, but the chicken is not happy so she went back to the coupe.
By the way, I forgot to mention, but we made another coupe and this is much better.
it's raised 3-4ft off the ground, and has skylight.
we dont even get that.

Anyway the chicken went back there and when I got down there to feed other chickens for lunch, the chicken was sitting unusually. Not moving.
I fet the other chickens, but the one chicken was not moving.
I walked up and offered some scratch, she walked up and started eating, but I saw some brown ball.
EGG!

Well, I thought first that Kimberly put the egg there. She read a book, saying when chickens are ready to lay eggs, you are supposed to put some fake eggs so chickens come and lay more eggs there.
Kimberly, on the other hand, placed real egg when she thought Nikki was ready to lay eggs.
Nikki was Nicky, HE does not lay eggs, but started crowing one morning.
But the point is Kim took an egg out of refrigerator and take it to the coup.


Anyway, we were very happy to see the first egg and made a fried egg and Kim and I shared the little fried egg.

Feeling really healthy and grounded.
Chickens are running free in the field today too.
