Little egg.

We got our first egg on Sunday! Such an exciting occasion. We had a lovely breakfast to celebrate, ate our first egg (double yolk!) and since then I have gotten an egg a day. I'm pretty sure both Beetlejuice and Gertrude are laying as the eggs are different colors, and found in different nesting areas. Gertrude can't seem to get her eggs in the same place while Beetlejuice lays hers in the back on the coop.






2nd, 3rd & 4th eggs, in order.


It's so lovely every morning to walk outside with and peek into the coop, hoping for just one egg. I love it.

Be sure to save the last egg the chicken lays before you butcher it, so when you bread it up to cook, you can use it's own egg in the recipe.

Awesome! Congratulations!
Also, that's a great idea, Phil! I'd like to suggest one of my favorite dishes, though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyakodon
