First egg

Notice that funny Frankish syntax?  Sorry.  I have a French reader who loves to make fun of Californians who move from the city to farms and then blog the most mundane aspects of farm life as if they were miracles of nature, never to be seen again by mortals.  I couldn’t resist!

Actually, our March batch of pullets started laying a couple of weeks ago.  We’re up to 4 pullet-sized eggs a day now and expect the other hens to be up and running no later than the end of next month.

I confess I’m very excited.  I know that it will be a chore to collect eggs soon, but now it’s like a treasure hunt each time I go out to the coop.
