an egg

This morning there was a small egg in the hen "house"/loft. I'm thinking it was the first egg from the new chick, who is a pullet not a chick, of course. It was unexpected because it's winter, but when our other girls started, it was also in the winter, so apparently pullets are a little confused when starting out in their egg laying. I haven't cracked it open to see if there's a yolk. There may not be.

  1. That's interesting...I hope to have chickens some day, there is so much I don't know about the process...
