Egg-sciting!

Yesterday was an exciting day around the barnyard! Cole found his first Silkie pullet egg!

Cole loves his chickens and has been gladly taking care of a little flock of Silkies that he bought and has fed with his very own hard earned money since last fall. He has been counting down the days until those ladies should start laying eggs and yesterday, right on time, one of the little hens layed him an egg. We were doing the happy dance around here!

My bloggy friend Dalyn just did a post on nutritious farm fresh eggs~ very fitting for the day. Off to the barn to check and see if they layed anymore......

  4. Love the sign. We have chickens coming again soon. Can't wait for eggs again. I made a sign for our pig shelter it read "The Hog Hotel" my kids were so embarrased over it. Don't they know that is my job!

  7. Oh Ladies~ You have made Cole's day even more exciting by all your comments! Rob made Cole the chicken roost (Silkies don't fly so they need a low roost) for our homemade Christmas last year. It is so cute to see his chickens roosting on it!! Those are very pampered and loved chickens!
