First Eggs

Cleaning the hens out in the morning and I opened the hen house and there it was, tucked up in the corner, on its own; a small beige egg.

Well the day came sooner than expected. We have had the hens less than two weeks and we already have an egg.  Now, who laid the egg? Well it wasn't KFC because she should lay white eggs so it had to be Cullen or Chief Cluck. Looking at the combs, Cullen has the biggest comb, whilst Chief Cluck's is not very developed at all. So the consensus was it was Cullen.

But it didn't stop there! During the day another beige egg was laid in the hen house. So not just one egg, but two. How eggcellent was that!

The fist egg was eaten by Val for breakfast, as a 'dippy egg'. The egg was boiled for 3 minutes, the yoke was a rich yellow colour and it tasted delicious.

Here's to many more.....
