I have to admit that I’ve been having doubts about ever getting an egg out of our freeloadin’ biotches {a.k.a. chickens}, but today all of that doubt has been erased and has been replaced with over-the-moon glee.
One of our beautiful ladies has given us the gift of her very first egg! To put my excitement into words is a nearly impossible task. When we first began construction of the chicken coop, it was more of a science experiment than anything else. We had been dabbling in organic gardening and thought that adding fresh eggs into the mix would compliment the project perfectly. We never knew that we would end up falling in love with these chickens and they would become more like pets than livestock. Getting to know their personalities and their habits has been so much fun for the entire family…
…and now they’re feeding us, too! Can you say that your pet makes you breakfast?
