So, I was doing homework in my living room on a nice Tuesday afternoon when I hear a thump on the window. It was my brother trying to get my attention. He was holding up an egg! I thought it was I trick but when I came down, it was an egg! I was elated, ecstatic, I was so excited that we had finally gotten an egg.

We were expecting the hens to be laying soon and Tuesday was the day! Surprisingly, it was actually a very moderate-sized egg, it wasn’t small, or soft shelled, or had two yolks. It was an amazing egg! Then, after one started laying, two more started laying also! It seemed like the first layer encouraged the other two. The next day, the same one layed again but we found a different egg from a different layer. (This was the second layer.) The egg was a darker brown and had specks of lighter brown on it. I do not currently have the picture myself so here is a picture of an egg they laid later.

A beautiful egg laid by the chickens. Photo taken by me.

The two layers continued to lay until on Sunday, a third joined. But, this chicken did not seem ready yet because we got a soft shelled egg meaning that it is not ready yet. Here is a picture of the soft egg.

As you can see, I can push the shell inwards without it breaking. Photo taken by me dad.

Then about 5 days after the first egg, the forth came. But like the third, it was not ready because it only laid a yolk. This is extremely normal though. My family and I are extremely excited for the fresh eggs! We just started them on layer pellets so they should start to lay more consistently soon.
