Our first egg!

What a wait! You should have heard this chicken this morning. She was squawking and almost barking like a dog! I would go check on her and she really seemed to be a little worried about something. And after Wyatt and I took a little nap I went out to check on her and there in the nest box was the most perfect little egg.

This being our first time you sit and wonder if they will just plop down and let it go. But she did the right thing just like the books all say! Miss B.B. is Max's chicken and I couldn't wait to tell him when he got off the bus. He was smiles from ear to ear! He spent most of the rest of the afternoon talking to his girl and eventually was able to pick her up and hold her for awhile!

The egg was small but a great shell meaning that we are on the right nutritional track. This environment of animals and a garden makes me feel like we are showing our kids something real. The boys play video games and watch movies with futuristic figures in them and they love them. But I love that we are showing them another part of life! Wyatt an Coop can not wait for their chickens to lay. Cooper wants to "dissect " his egg to identify all the parts that he learned in kindergarten!

The timer is beeping for the banana bread that we made with the egg! Got to go!
