Almost every morning when I let the chickens out of the coop and I check the nest box there is one beautiful morning egg left for me. It is warm and heats up my cold hands. The remaining hens lay a little latter in the morning, usually by 11:30am there are another 5-7 eggs nestled in little hollows formed in the shavings. Our twelve ladies are providing us with close to a dozen eggs daily, my favorite is always that first beautiful warm offering.
