Oh yes, it's 'happy dance' time in this house. Tilda (RIR) laid her very first egg today. Small but perfectly formed. She is the first of our chickens to lay.

Well done Tilda. Hopefully she will keep laying all winter once she is in full swing.

The children had it scrambled for dinner last night (I did add others to it). When I broke it we found that it was a large yolk and no white at all.
Tilda laid another egg today, in the nest box too. :blink:
This one had more colour to the shell and was perfect inside and out. I fried it for my lunch.

Great joy comes out of little moments. My 'retired' recently adpted hen surprised me with one today and I announced it on my facebook page!
So happy!
