We have arrived! This was the one thing we've been really anticipating. Now we can call ourselves farmers. There are seven perfect little eggs, which means seven chickens are laying. It's funny that they all laid their egg in the same place. One of them was still warm, so I guess they just waited for their turn throughout the night. None of them laid in the nesting boxes we have for them, so we'll need to take the advice of my chicken book (thank you Tina) and put some fake eggs in the nesting boxes to encourage them to lay in there instead of on the floor.
This is so exciting!

You know..I had thought about that. I remember touring a historical farm and they talked about putting wooden eggs in the nest so the hens would nest there and it would also prompt them to lay more eggs. Isn't that odd?
