Hunter's First Chicken Egg!!!

Hunter is VERY excited today. He bought (with his own money) a rooster and two hens back when we ordered  this years set of chicks and has been raising them so that he can hatch his own eggs. These chickens are well kept! he takes them out most every day and puts them away in his own hoop house (the original turkey hoop house) to nest at night.  He keeps them supplied with food and fresh water, and has the coop lighted.

Finally, after months of waiting, he found his FIRST egg tonight! Now he is on his way to raising his own chickens!

The happy egg farmer!

  1. Hunter found another egg in the coop today, right next to the first one. Looks like he is well on his way to raising baby chicks. It will be interesting to watch him supervise the natural process of letting the mom hatch the eggs and raise the chicks.
