Having an Eggstatic Easter!


A very quick post from the hen house, one of my girls laid her first egg today of all days!I check every couple of days, just lifting the lid of the nest box a couple of inches but today I did a double take when I saw the small light brown egg inside.
It is small but perfectly formed!
The knitted egg cosy was made by Aisling's MIL, it originally covered a small chocolate egg. I imagine the hen responsible had the same look of shock and surprise when she laid her first egg!
A very Happy Easter to everyone.

Well done that hen!!! They must be contented, Peggy, for one to have laid an egg already>
hooray for firsts! I'm sure you savoured every mouthful. Do you still have some of your lovely asparagus to dip into the next one?
