First Egg!

We got our very first egg from one of the "babies" yesterday evening!  It's small and pinkish, and it was laid in a nesting box.  I have no idea which of them did it because they go everywhere together.  They are about 22 weeks old now.  I can't wait to crack it open!

First egg from our buff orpingtons.

  1. Do you have to do anything different when eating, or preparing, fresh eggs?

  2. Nope. The shells are a little thicker, so they are harder to crack, but that's about it. The difference is in the quality. Backyard eggs are tastier and healthier.
