This is going to be short but I wanted to let you all know that we are getting lots of eggs from our chickens. I think we have over 20 now.

This morning, about 15 minutes ago in fact, Eric and I were in the goats stall feeding the goats. Then we heard this loud clucking sound from one of the troughs we have found eggs in. We found two hens in it. They were hiding under the one side of the trough that has a box over it. Then Eric and I waited. Then we saw an egg!

We decided to let them be until we got the waterers filled up. We thought, since we usually find five or more eggs in it, that they would lay more. But when we looked, they had each laid one egg.

I just thought it was kind of cool to see that. They were both Rhode Island Reds, so the eggs were and easy to spot.

I hope that you enjoyed reading about my excitement. I was really excited about it! I can't wait to get a real egg basket (we just put them in our pockets), and go down every morning to find a dozen eggs, and then eat them for breakfast! That sounds very homesteady, don't you think! ha ha

Ok, well, I am trying to catch up on comments. I will try to post some pictures of the eggs soon for you all to see them.

Chickens lay in the weirdest spots sometimes. We have 15 chickens, but they are old they are about 3-4 years old and we get one- three eggs a week, and sometimes none.

Congratulations on your eggs!
It does sound VERY homesteady - collecting eggs in a basket - it sounds old fashioned, doesn't it?

Well, talk to you later,
Jessica Lee

Yes, it does sound "homesteady":-)
On homeschoolblogger, /aladybug told me about how they were going to let one of their hens hatch the egg or what ever you want to call it:-) and the hen sat on it for about a week and a ahalf and quit!!!
