First egg

I was outside this morning when I heard a little commotion coming from the chicken coop.

I checked to make sure that the City Chicks were all safe

and walked away wondering if this was the big day.

And it was the big day.

I returned a bit later and found this little bitty brown egg…

not in the nesting box, mind you

but our first egg from our City Chicks.

We’ve had a blast checking it out and learning a bit more about chickens and eggs.

(That picture makes it look big.  It’s really small which is normal for first eggs.  Those are Baby Boy’s hands.  Actual size of the egg was about 1/2 of the size of a large egg from the grocery store.)

We can’t wait to see which chicken is next to lay an egg!
