Chicken Eggs!

When this picture was taken, only our little yellow hen was laying. After we found her eggs outside of the coop where the dog could get them, we locked the chickens in the coop for a couple days. She laid an egg in the coop where she was supposed to.Now we have two chickens out of three laying. They both lay in their box in the coop. It's lined with pine needles and nice and comfy. They squawk when they are finished laying. It's so funny to hear them going nuts. It's like they're saying, "hey look everyone, I laid an egg, hurry, come look".
The girls favorite part of the day is going out to the chicken coop to get the eggs. On the weekends when were home all day, when they hear the chickens start squawking, they run out to the coop and get the eggs while they're still warm.
The girls take turns checking for eggs. We now get two eggs everyday! We love to have breakfast for dinner. The Easter Bunny brought the best thing ever this year! Chickens that are good pets and keep us fed and happy. Who could ask for anything better!
