James came back from putting up the chickens and announced, "We have 18 chickens, and FIVE EGGS!" It took us all a second for it to sink in, but then we were excited.
Unfortunately, the roosters are all pretty into doing their jobs, and we have no clue how long those eggs have been there... so we'll have to crack them outside, in case they're bad. Still, it's exciting to have some progress.
(This was last night. Jacob found another one today. We don't know who is laying, but they're all in the same place so far, so that makes it easier. How exciting!)
Kiss those babies!

try putting them in a container of water. If the egg just sits there in the bottom, it's a week or less old. If the top goes up a bit, it's 2 weeks old, if the top points straight up it's 3 weeks old and if it floats it's bad don't use it.
