Sunday morning as we were getting breakfast ready, Dante came charging up through the yard. At first I thought he was hurt with as quickly as he was running. He charged through the door holding our very first ever chicken egg. The moment had arrived. WOOHOO! We were all so excited. We were making eggs anyway (store bought), so we decided to cook up our homegrown one, too. The bright color of the yoke was just unbelievable compared to the other eggs. The children have been relentlessly stalking the chicken shed waiting for more eggs. We have gotten 4 so far and I am sure the eggs haven't even been sitting in the nest for more than 30 seconds before they are brought up to the house.

Is that a white egg? Oh, yes, barred rocks do lay white eggs! I forgot that... and these came from a "brown egg layers" lot that we bought...grrr... Not that it really matters, they are the same nutritionally, but brown eggs are just cooler! :-) Hope you are getting more by now. We just penned ours up again at last and are hoping to figure out who is laying where.
