| An Egg in the Grass |
It was early August and the chickens were out in their runs on the grass as usual. I was just out checking their water and food, and suddenly—surprise!—I saw a little brown egg lying in the grass! What an exciting moment!! Since it was a week and a half early, and no nest boxes yet existed, we quickly constructed a makeshift box and put it in the run. The chickens all took great interest in it and took turns climbing in and out (even the rooster!). I’m not sure if they understood the nestbox’s real purpose or not!

Wow! Super egg-citing!! :D
Did you eat it or put it in a picture frame?
As a sad matter of fact, I think this first egg was dropped on the floor (by someone who shall be nameless) since we had no egg basket yet, so that was that! We ate the second one though.
That must have been very exciting after all of your hard work!
