Our First Chicken Egg EVER!

I didn't have time to type a proper post on this, but I wanted everyone to know that we found our first egg today. Eric and I were down feeding the chickens, and Eric went into the stall to see if any were in there to get out to eat.

He comes running out of the stall yelling  "OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!" over and over. I asked him "What is wrong?!" He was freaking out about it! I went and explored what could have happened, and found there was an egg in front of the door! How cool is that?

We haven't been able to get the nesting boxes up yet, so we are going to have to do that soon. The egg was a greenish-blue egg, which means it was an Americauna! I was so thrilled about it!

Tomorrow Eric and I are going to make a thorough search of the pine trees they are under all the time and the stall... maybe we will find more!

I am sorry for so short a post; I will post more about it later!

Well, got to go finish commenting!

Oh my!!! Congratulations! Now that is my kind of surprise! Soon, you'll have more than you know what to do with. (What a blessing that is.) There's nothing like fresh eggs and collecting them. I can't wait until my girls start back up. They've been slacking now that it's cold. Thanks for stopping by to see me and for sharing your exciting news. (Guess what--it's snowing!)

OH, that is wonderful! How exciting! Congratulations. :)

Have you heard of the book "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss? Dad used to read it to me when I was little. Hearing that your egg was greenish-blue made me randomly think of that.

Have a wonderful weekend!
