Well, it happened. Sooner than I thought it would.

Yesterday Michael found an egg in the chicken coop. Yeah!

Being green, it was laid by an Americana. It is a good month earlier than I thought we would have eggs.

Maybe she is an early bloomer.

It is small, which we expected. My understanding is that the older the hen is the larger the egg is.

Here it is next to a store bought large egg.

Our egg weighed in a 1.3 ounces. The store bought egg beat it out at 2.3 ounces.

We have our first egg….how cool is that.

Ta Ta For Now,
