Anyone who owns chickens knows the excitement of . . .
THE FIRST EGG ! ! !
It’s the egg on the right. The egg on the left is a store-bought “large”, for comparison. Our girls’ eggs will be in the “large” to “jumbo” range, but I imagine this first egg felt plenty big to the gal who laid it ;-).
I haven’t taken pictures of the girls since they were nine weeks old; they’re eighteen weeks old now. But here’s a picture of them from nine weeks ago, when they were all teenager-ish in size.
It’s funny to me to see them in that picture because they are now at least twice that size and very full-grown-chicken looking! I’ll get a new picture soon; they’re such pretty gals, and a hoot to boot :-).
