Eggs!

We have good news!  We got our chickens back in August and have been waiting expectantly for them to start laying eggs.  

It's been six months now and Eliana, our researcher, says that they start laying between five to eight months of age.

Well, on Tuesday, Eliana decided to check the coop and found one!  It was a pretty exciting moment in our household.  The egg was cold so it must have been laid a while ago.

The kids think it's Chippy that laid the egg because they saw her go into the coop a lot.

Then Karina saw Chippy go into the coop and decided to check the coop again.  And she found another egg!

So now we're the proud owners of two freshly laid eggs.  We can't wait to try them!

Now, whenever the kids hear the chickens clucking, they go out to check for eggs.

Nothing this time!

Here are the ladies, all grown up!
