Just got our first eggs from our first chickens this morning :) So excited to finally add them to our small suburban homestead!

@jodienancarrow Thank you :) We have 5 Golden Comets - we were fortunate enough that a local farmer who we buy all our grassfed meats from was selling year old birds to downsize his flock. It took us less than a week to order three more chicks - two barred rocks and one silver wyandotte - from a local hatchery which we will pick up in June :) The chicken math begins! 😂

Best feeling in the world. It's such a miracle, it honestly is!

Oh boy, but just wait until you incubate some. It gets worse. 😬 It is the most wondrous thing to see life moving & changing within an egg. Seeing a beak...hearing a chirp. The coolest thing that I've seen was a little chick foot clearly planted against the inside of the shell.

There is not a whole lot like it.
