The First Egg!

Story of the First Egg

We got our first egg!
This is the whole story.
 Well, I picked up our daughter  from Volleyball practice, so it was about
5pm when we got home. A terrible storm was brewing, so she went
to let her lambkins into the barn, and I checked on the chickens who were
 all snuggled down in the hen house. I counted them out of habit
and I only counted 11! I ran and got my daughter from the barn  and she counted them
 and there was still only 11!
So, I ran to ask Farmer John if a terrible tragedy had happened on the
 farm that day, but he hadn’t seen anything, so we all ran out to
 search for the wayward chicken before it was dark, as we got
 near the barn my youngest daughter  came out of the barn with a very exhausted
 chicken that she had found in the corner of the barn, sitting on
 its small precious first egg.

Gosh, once the sun sets chickens get very docile. Anyway, we put the darling into the hen house
 with the rest of her buddies, some food and water, and hope they
 all have a good night!

 I think we are going to be finding eggs everywhere on this free range paradise. What we are going to do
 to circumvent that happening, is we are going to put plastic
 Easter eggs in the laying boxes, so the chickens will see those
 fake eggs and think – hey, good idea, it’s cozy and warm in
 here, maybe I’ll leave my little darling here as well. Chickens
 are joiners, don’t you know!
 
 Wow, I love farm life!

 Now I’ll probably stay awake and worry tonight! Are they warm
 and cozy enough? Is their feed right? There is always something
 to worry about!
