    Amy-
    I know! We were so proud she knew right what to do and where to put it! As for what we did with it, we admired it for a full day and then today fried it up, sunny-side up, and ate it! We all had a bite. It was YUMMY!
    ps- I really hope you guys get chickens next year. Your boys would love this!

    Cindy- We're totally new at this whole chicken thing, so my one-egg experience won't tell you much. I didn't need to clean this egg at all- it was spotless and even warm when we got it out of the nesting box. (But I have heard that sometimes you will need to gently wipe them down.) We'll see.

    Stacy-
    Oh my goodness-- she was *so* pleased with her hen! She went straight over to her and cooed, "That's just what you're supposed to do, Dora! Great job." ~smile~

    How exciting! I remember how excited we were to get our first eggs from our chickens last year.

    It looks like a beauty.

    Yahoo- you are definitely a woman of MANY talents!

    Your chickens look sweet-we had mean ones who lived at our neighbors house before we moved here...couldn't go out in OUR yard without a weapon to protect ourselves with(broom, garbage can lid)...many times Bella would come inside with her leg dripping with blood. ;-(

    Glad Ella can hold yours and that soon you will be making omelets!

    good job!

    Somehow I missed this oh-so-exciting post! Yippee!! Way to go Dora! I'm sure the others will start soon. We've had two laying for a while, and just yesterday a third joined in the fun. The weird thing is, the two both lay in the same box! But I'm not complaining. :>
