On the first day of Christmas, my big hen gave to me....
the first egg that we've been waiting for so anxiously.
On the second day of Christmas, my big hen gave to me...
a second egg, bigger than the first, yet ever so slightly.
a third egg, as we waited outside the coop impatiently.
On the fourth day of Christmas, my big hen gave to me...
a fourth egg, this is so much fun...eeee!
On the fifth day of Christmas, my big hen gave to me...
nada. zip. zilch. She's taking a break apparently.
It's been such an exciting week! Our "middle child," Henrietta started laying the day after Christmas. We have been waiting and waiting for an egg since we got the chickens in July. The first two eggs were pretty small so we were convinced they came from Dixie since she is the oldest and the smallest hen. But on the third day, we were lucky enough to witness Henrietta make her way up to the nesting box, shuffle around in there for a while, and then come back down; leaving a nice, warm egg behind. What a gift that she waited until this week while we're all home to experience this first-hand. Thank you, Henrietta.
