Chaka lays her first egg

Chaka stands near my okra in the garden.

Chaka is no longer into terrifying bags, she is now the mom of her first egg. I noticed that she constantly strayed away from the rest of her crew that day, 9-29-09; and was seemingly in her own world, and was looking for a nest. Well, by about 4:30 pm, Chaka decided to just quietly sit and release her first egg in front of the house.

I sat, watched, and waited, then picked the egg up while it was still warm. Being that she is of the Black Giant breed, I was surprised that her egg was quite smaller than Queens'.
