Ta-da!! Upon returning home from our morning outing, Grace went to the coop to check for eggs. And much to her surprise, she actually found one. It was on the ground in front of the coop — not in the nest box, or even inside the coop — but I figure that's better than being laid under a bush or in the woods. We assume that Sally laid it, (don't ask why, chicken farmers just know these things), and in the photo below, you can see Grace congratulating her. It's a beautiful egg— nicely shaped, brown with a few little white spots — but it does have a puncture mark, like maybe someone pecked at it. But we don't care — it's OUR egg, from OUR own chicken, and now, besides just being fun to watch, those critters are finally starting to earn their keep!
