Fancy lays her first egg.

Well it finally happened. Ms. Fancy decided to become a grown up mom and give her mommy, me, an egg.


She laid it on
Monday Oct. 26, 2009.

She's a proud new mom.

I noticed that she was following the pattern of the others when they were about to lay their first egg; wandering by themselves. I then noticed her sitting on the nest for about an hour or more. By the time the newborn was delivered, it was to dark to photo, but I got a great picture today. These are her first photos after becoming a new "mom".

...And this is QUEEN

Queen is a Golden Comet breed. She is the first of my six hens to lay me an egg. I purchased these six girls in April 2009, when they were about 1 1/2 weeks old, from a local pet and feed store; and have loved and cared for them every since. They are about 6 months old at this writting. I am the only mom that they know. I have realized that because, they were born in incubators, they will never know what it's like to have a real momma chicken mommie. I love these little ladies very much. I, however, do wish that they would be a bit more obedient, and stop ruining my landscape.
