Chickadee's First Egg

The 2 Happy Hens woke Lydia up at 6.15am Saturday morning.
Nestle and Chickadee were hanging around the chicken coop sooking.
Surprise! Chickadee laid her first egg!
Can you see a white egg in the right hand nesting box? 
Chickadee laid her first egg in the nesting box.
A perfect 64 gram egg laid by Chickadee on 8th August 2015.
The 2 Happy Hens are hungry and thirsty
after the early morning egg-laying excitment!
Nestle pecks the ground for food in the coop
and Chickadee drinks water from the blue bowl.
Chickadee inspects her egg. Did I do that?
Chickadee is proud of her first egg.
Now it's Nestle's turn to inspect the egg.
Nestle poses next to the egg.
 10 month old Chickadee is now an egg laying pullet.
 Chickadee is a stunning Rhode Island Red hen.
