Our first egg


Ok it's not very big, but it did taste nice with my toast this morning.

Not sure which of the three hens laid it, but hopefully the first of many.

  1. Congratulations Gary it looks really 'great',
    I've just harvest my first cucumber, equally proud.

  2. Oh lucky you! I do miss having chickens! There is nothing like a fresh egg for breakfast! Val

  3. That must be exciting all out of proportion with the size of the egg.

  4. We have had a second one now! I think it is the Black Rock hen that has started, can't wait for the other two to get going. They are only about 18-19 weeks which is a bit early so we must be doing something right.

  5. Gary - do you know this blog

    It's a blog I really like and think you might too. But the pertinent point is that they keep chickens . . . I think it's three kinds.

  7. How exciting. How did you cook your first egg - poached, fried or scrambled?

  8. Fantastic, I'm really pleased for you - I'd be so excited! Maybe they'll get bigger, do you think your hens will grow more?
