Our First Egg!

Have I mentioned we have chickens? well in case I haven't mentioned it I will tell you now. We have Chickens! 5 to be exact. My Mom got the kids their chickens for east this year and we raised them from little peeps.

The boys and I have been going out daily to feed  them. water, and clean their pen and the boys faithfully have been checking for an egg. "no egg today" they would say. It was so sweet. So the expression on their faces this evening when FINALLY they spotted our first egg was priceless. They were both so overjoyed and excited they had to take turns holding it and taking a picture with it. After awhile colton thanked the chickens for "pooping him an egg"

It took me quite awhile for them to put it down actually. I was quite afraid we would have a messy handed little boy when he fell with it in his hand. I am happy to report that did not happen.

Our first egg was a white one. I am looking forward to seeing more in the days/weeks to come. and maybe in a week or so actually eat an egg as I have been told you need to wait a week after they start laying to eat the eggs.
