We have big news to report! The girls have laid their first eggs this morning!! Diana was outside puttering in the yard and heard a distinctly different racket coming from the coop. She ran over to check it out and opened the egg box to find that the first egg had been laid...only to roll over and down the ladder (see the photo attached!).
The second egg came along not much later and the girls all ran over to cheer their sisters on as they took turns in the egg box. We now have two beautiful brown eggs in the fridge and hopefully can report more of this kind of joyful activity soon! I remains to be seen if Marge will lay eggs...but we are keeping a close watch and will let you
know. The girls are proudly strutting around the yard now having been treated with fresh water and cracked corn on which to graze as a reward.
May you all have as fruitful a day as the hens!
Love,
Erin, Diana, and Natalie
