We got our first chicken egg today! Whoo-Hoo! The kids were so happy. They have been checking every day to see if they were laying yet. We only got one today, but with three Americana chickens that is to be expected. They lay an egg about every other day and the color is a cool bluish-green. This breed of chicken is also know as Easter-eggers.
This is the culmination of a long project for the kids. It started with Marly learning about birds and then focused on chickens. We then bought real chicks and built their coop. Marly has been diligently caring for these chicks as they grew into healthy chickens. See more about our Chicken Project on our website.
That's great!! How fun for them :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Probably as exciting as getting the first vegetables from a garden you work hard to harvest.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting, I wish I had more land for some farm animals and a big garden. Hope you are coming tomarrow night. Not too many have said they are, Friday is probably a bad night ot have it. If it weren't at my house I wouldn't go unless it was a week night. Oh well, hopefully we'll get a few more. Take Care.
ReplyDeleteHurray!!! We are so glad for you Marly! So, did you make an omelet yet? We were wondering if you are going to enter any of your plethera of poultry for judgement at the fair someday? You are sure to win, after all raising poultry runs in the family!
ReplyDeleteI heard the fresh eggs are healthier fun for the kids but watch out for the chicken poop(:
