Today is a monumental day for Farmstead Smith! We've gotten OUR FIRST EGG! It's like, a legit egg too! Not even a bitty fart egg! Ha. It's about the size of a medium egg you'd buy at the grocery store!
Finally these ladies are picking up their slack! Showing that some are done being freeloaders! I think this might mean we're real farmers now! Ha.
I am really hoping that it wasn't one of my Easter Eggers cause I was really really hoping that they would lay their supposed blue or green eggs, sometimes you just don't get that though, Easter Eggers are a toss up in that arena.
Of course, I had to call and text everyone I knew! I talked my grandparents and my grandma asked me "Well, are you gonna eat it, or just look at it?"
I just have one egg, Grandma! I'm gonna stare at it for a bit. Obviously. hahahaha.
I didn't find an egg then.
An hour or two later, I went out to go fill their water, and TA-FREAKING-DA! There's an egg!! An egg that isn't a fake egg! The fakes are the ones with smiley faces on... haha. I added that personal touch.
As far as I know, this is the first egg!! Like I said, they have been showing signs of lay for a couple of weeks, but after research I found that sometimes they're just preemptive... Ha. They like to get me excited and disappoint me all in the same minute. Haha. I guess it's practice.
I was betting that they would lay eggs under the coop. They spend a lot of time down there because it's pretty warm here. It would have been my luck that they lay anywhere except the nesting box. I am thankful I was wrong!
Waiting for them to start laying eggs is probably the most difficult part of raising chickens!
I, of course, had to tell my own mom (I called her momma chicken well before chickens were even in my future! hahaha) about the egg, she was happy to greet her first great grand baby egg. Bahahah
As always
