Two eggs today!

We feel like we are on the way to being self-sufficient in the area of eggs after finding two in our coop this morning! Now we are just waiting on one hen beginning to lay and we can hope for three eggs per day, plenty for three people. We will see what the next weeks bring! We are praising God for our happy, healthy-looking hens. I have retracted my prior statements about their stupidity after they got accidentally locked out one night and the laying hen still went back to the coop the next morning to lay her egg! That is one smart chook, I say! Our one concern is their flying ability . . . maybe we should have clipped their wings? As this photo shows, they could certainly get over the fence if they wanted to explore the neighbourhood. We think it will be OK, as apparently they are not inclined to stray away from a known area.
