While we were away for the summer, we had a fabulous neighbor take care of our home, our dogs, our chickens and our yard for us. She is so fabulous that she arranged for one of our chickens to lay it’s very first egg the day we returned. We’ve been getting an egg a day (one day we got two) since then. It was so nice when hubby made us our usual pancakes over the weekend and used an egg from our backyard. Very exciting! I have a feeling I am going to have more of these than I know what to do with when the other 4 chickens start laying.
The first eggs are so exciting!!
We’re getting four a day now and it’s more a challenge to use them all up. We have some very happy friends and family benefiting from our current excess.

It’s too back that I can’t have chickens in my condo, because this just sounds divine! : )
