finally!

maggie finally laid an egg.

monday afternoon, i heard a ruckus in the coop
and went to check on the girls.

i was not prepared for what i found.

not only had maggie laid her first egg...

but it was HUGE!

all the girls have laid smaller eggs for the first few days

and then they have just gradually gotten bigger

and are now medium to large/xl eggs.

maggie's was twice the size of any of the largest eggs

that the other girls had laid.

i think she felt she needed to step it up since she was last...

and did she ever.

i took pictures, and they just don't do the size justice.

but maybe you can get an idea.

i held the largest brown egg we had 

(which is the size of an average store bought large)

and then put maggie's next to it...

i guess maybe we can forgive the poor girl for being late...

i would have waited too.

here's another shot with all of the eggs...

you can spy maggie's toward the back, on the right...

you know...the one that looks like a brown goose egg.

so...all of our girls are laying now...

just in time for the days to get shorter 

& eggs to become less frequent.

i honestly think i'll go without eggs 

before i'll buy them from the store again though.

we're all very spoiled now.

hope you are having a happy wednesday, wherever you are.

xox.
