The Chicken or the Egg

What came first? The chicken or the egg? For us it was the chicken. At first they were cute peeping little fuzzballs, that grew into awkward ugly little teenagers, that grew into hens that looked like they really should contribute something to the household but did not. Well in July, they redeemed themselves. Yes we got our first egg!!!

L to R: Oriana, Robot, Nick Fury, and Scriabin

Jonah with his beloved "Nick Furry" the barred rock

What a cutie. (Jonah, not the chicken)

Jude and his baby "Oriana"

This is Idelette's chicken, Robot. Robot has yet to contribute.

The kids were ecstatic! (So were Paul and I)

The beauty. We think it was Oriana or Nick's

It was a happy day! In fact my excitement was so renewed that I immediately got on Craigslist to get a few more chickens. Within the week we added Chocolate Chip and Nasgul to our little flock. We now get about 3 eggs a day and the excitement of getting them hasn't faded. Hopefully the other 3 chickens will start laying soon.
