OMG a chicken just laid an egg in OUR backyard!

OMG, a chicken just laid an egg in OUR backyard homestead in the making! First egg we've EVER GROWN ourselves! If you know me, you KNOW how excited I am right now! My husband found it, so it's a surprise to us that our chickens are going to start laying. OMG we're NOT READY yet until the end of the week! SO we're going to have to run to HILL's Lawn and Garden tomorrow and get straw to set up 5 gallon bucket nesting boxes until we can HURRY up and build the permanent chicken COOP THIS WEEKEND!

You know the old saying not putting the horse before the cart? WELL, I apparently have chickens starting to lay eggs without home! GEEEZ

Well you live and learn, but can I just tell you how OVER JOYED I am right now! I want to run out and find the chicken responsible and HUG her!

our 1st homegrown egg EVER

Clint's hand to egg ratio, LOL

and our first is a double yoker!!!

We did not eat this one, because 1 we have no idea how long ago she laid, and 2 well we're just in shock a chicken just laid an egg in OUR back yard.  Who KNEW that you become SO dependent walking into a grocery store and grabbing eggs that you know NOTHING about that when you have your first homegrown chicken egg you panic and don't know if you should eat it or not?  WOW, what an eye opening experience these lessons we've been learning through our quest to take back some of our dependence off of others!  SO there WILL be MORE chicken adventures to come SOONER than expected! LOL

Praise God for these continued blessings!
