The golden egg

OK not golden, but almost as expensive.  FINALLY our first egg from the chickens!!!  I am beyond ecstatic, the first offering from my hens, way to go girls.  It maybe small, but if we calculate how much money and time we have put into building the chicken coop and pen it is solid gold to us :-)
Owning your own backyard hens is a lifestyle, a way of enjoying something fresh and wonderful, it is never going be a retirement investment.
Hopefully tomorrow there will be another so Mick and I don't have to scramble this one.
