What eggcellent surprise

Yeah it's a cheesy title I know. But today we got our first egg! 


It is small but perfectly formed, and great for a first attempt. My powers of deduction lead me to believe that it is from Rosalie our Buff Orpington.


I know what I am having for lunch today :)

  3. Wow! The first egg is very exciting. How old are your Buffs? Two survived my dog attack on the hoop house. They are beautiful birds.

  5. Thanks Deb it was delicious.

    LOL she has already laid 2 more and each one has been a wonderful surprise. I can't wait to see the easter eggers colors and the tiny silkie eggs.

    Kara thanks. My chickens are just under 5 months old. Rosalie is my only Buff but she is lovely.

    Christine LOL thank you.
