Thank you Lucy! Our first egg!

I can't believe it! Our first egg on Dec. 4th, 2007! We didn't think we were going to get any until Spring! The weather has been awful here in Seattle the past week; some snow on the ground in the city, major rains and winds. This AM in the midst of a modest break in the rain, Pat went out and witnessed Lucy, our "Easter egg chicken", laying her first egg! It's blue, no it's green, no it's sort of a blue-ish green. Here are the pics, and please note, we have not built the coop quite yet so she layed in the chicken tractor we are using as the coop!
