That's right! We finally got an egg from one of our chickies! We know exactly which one too. Her name is Misty and she is the Dekalb Aberlink (white, Foghorn-Leghorn looking chicken). She is very friendly and a pleasure to hold. She is very "talkative" when you hold her. We noticed lately that when you reach down to pick her up, she would squat down to the ground and stick her tail in the air. Definitely some sort of mating position. We also noticed her sitting in the nest a few days ago, which none of the chickens has done yet. We knew it was just a matter of time. I went out to check yesterday around 10:00 a.m. and there it was! Funny thing is, I just checked the nest before typing this blog and we have ANOTHER EGG! WooHoo! (Oh yeah, the golf ball is there in hopes of showing them where to lay the eggs....)
