We've Got Eggs!

Jack found 7 eggs today. We got these older chickens from a friend that was moving away. They never laid an egg so I thought they were too old. I just planned to use them as trash cans and tillers. Well today Jack noticed a nest. Who knows how long them have been laying and who knows which chicken is laying. We will try to figure that out in the next day or so, scientifically...as much as as 5 kids and a mom can.
We are very excited to start getting some eggs, especially during the winter months.

Yay! Love the fresh eggs! Our babies from the spring have started laying - we're getting 5-10 a day!

Yipie! Glad they're laying again - they always did like to hide nests here & there...
