Back Door Egg Delivery

After finding our first eggs yesterday, I woke up this morning and went straight to the coop. No eggs. So I let the chickens out and kind of kept an eye on them. The gold ones were definitely acting out of the ordinary.


 And I knew when this one headed for the pine shavings (see previous post) that another egg was probably on its way.


 Yep! Not long after she sat down...A warm and shiny egg! Right outside my back door!


If you can't tell, this is all very exciting to me :-)

  2. Very cool! I'm glad they're laying for you! Hopefully they'll all commit to using the coop soon.

  3. Chickens are soooo funny! They really will lay anywhere but the coop given half a chance. When I was a kid, we used to have egg hunts, as my mums chickens would lay all over her garden! Mine like to lay in the field if they're out, but thats not much at the moment, so its just the coop for us now. Fresh eggs are the best aren't they? I hope you continue to get a regular supply!
    Have a great week xx
