Darling Astrid popped out the first egg yesterday afternoon. What a good girl! It is a gorgeous, perfect little brown egg. I whooped and called out to Mike and Char when I discovered it in the nesting box. Astrid stood by and watched us take it. Sort of weird but all the books says that quick removal of a fresh eggs leads to greater productivity. We'll see! We should be deep in the scrambles before long. I can't believe she laid it right in the nesting box. I expected these crazy ladies to set down their treasures any old place. I guess that chicken's have good instincts!
Here is Astrid keeping her eye on us as we take her tiny treasure!Send me your egg recipes!
Maybe it's just my imagination but Astrid looks a little relieved! I wonder what it felt like to pass that little egg? Lyra
