First Egg!!
FIRST EGG!! July 6, 2010 I found our “first” egg in the coop, on the ground next to the nesting box in the morning – Yippee!
Estimated cost $5,000
Here is a re-enactment photo of how I found it in buried in the wood shavings (I was so excited I picked it up, ran in to show Dan, then had to get my camera and put in back where I found it).
This is Emma who came in to seeing what I was up to, she jumped into the nesting box to show me where it should have been laid. It is a mystery just who laid the first egg….
Second Egg – July 7…this time it was laid in the nesting box !
Look how tiny these first brown eggs are!
Second Egg estimated cost: $2,500

How appropriate to have the first egg right after the birthday of our country!! I am glad you were in town to witness the event.

And the next egg will cost — well, never mind that one! The fourth egg will cost only $1250!
Congratulations, Mom. Did you eat it or frame it?
