Our First Eggs!!!!!!
6:00 AM
Two nights ago I went out to make sure the chickies were in for the night (and that Gracie was not on top of the fence). I had to walk to the back side of the bush in the dog run to move them out from under the bush. Lo and behold, there was a tiny little egg. I'm fairly certain that it was Carly who laid the eggs. She had the funny little squat going on. Then I remembered seeing her on the the side of our little garden shed (which is about 6 inches from the fence). Sure enough there was another egg. It was a tight squeeze to gather that one!
I knew they were small eggs, but when I compared it to the store bought egg, it was amazing to see how small they really are.
I have since put more pine shavings in their nesting boxes and made a little "nest" with little Easter egg decorations (that's all I had) in the hopes they will start laying in the box like good little chickies!

ReplyDeleteYay! It's always so exciting to find your first eggs :) Sounds like you made their boxes a little more cozy so hopefully they'll understand that's where they lay their eggs!
