After months of chicken nurturing, we got our first egg today! We have been through a great leaning curve with housing, disease and death. We got our three new birds a little over a week ago and they have settled in.We've looked for eggs every day for the past six weeks and got our reward today.
We took pea soup over to Mom's for dinner and it was pouring rain. I went out to change their water and check their food. Mom and Kristen were on the porch out of the rain when they heard me yell "Egg! We have egg!" They both ran out to the coop in the rain and we all did the happy egg dance.
Of course there was a big argument about who should have the first egg. Mom won. She'll have her fresh egg for breakfast tomorrow. Can't wait to hear how it tasted.
I'm not sure who laid it - probably Alice or Fiona, based on the color of the egg. We're hoping this will inspire the other girls to get with the program.

You made it sound like Banna was fighting you off for the egg! You were each trying to give it to each other, which is quite a different thing!
Yayyyy egg!
Yeah, I know I was going to say Mom lost fight - each wanted to give it to the other.
