Yesterday we had our first egg! One of our NH Reds was the hen. Of course the grandkids were called and they came up. Mandy and I also needed to can more apple sauce. Reed and Emmy were happy to pose with the egg and play with the new baby chicks. The chicks are doing fantastic...no deaths!
Reed helped us prepare the apples by turning the peeler/slicer/corer. Since we had softer apples I peeled them first then just cored and sliced them ala Reed.
Sunday afternoon (today) the same hen was acting crazy again so we put her in the coop and into a nesting box. Yesterday she had layed her egg in the foyer of the coop. Once again she layed...in fact the grandkids and I were on our way out to check on her in the box when she started squawking and carring on. Reed ran back for the camera and by the time we got in the coop she had hopped out of the box and there was another egg.

Matt came up for Sunday dinner and he and Abby went down to the garage to check out the chicks.
