“What is it, mama?” she came, breathless at the tone of my voice, what could it be?
“Maria!!! LOOK!”
and she spied the brown orb as well, “Oh my gosh…”
And we hugged and jumped, like, real life did that. Well, it’s been 5 months with these chickies, and we had still been buying eggs, so to see this was very exciting. They did it!
The first eggs that chickens lay are usually very, very small, as the chickens begin to lay normal sized eggs as time goes on.

| Good job girls, or girl. Just two are laying at this point, but we are still so proud of them |

We loaded the soil into the garden bed and planted rows of green beans, bell pepper, watermelon and….Giant pumpkins. My kids just love watermelon, and eagerly watch the tiny seedlings, imagining what’s to come.
The kids have been loving watering, and watching the tender green seedlings uncurl from under the dirt, lifing their leaves up and out to catch the sun.

You all must be someplace with no winter. California? Here, the pumpkins were planted months ago and are being harvested now.
Love reading your blog and seeing your wonderful pictures. Congrats to the hens.
haha, yes it’s true. We have very warm summers, it’s hot now, but we are entering a cooler season which will be nice for planting. But also, we are novices, so who knows! <3
Thank you for sharing! Beautiful and happy kiddos!
Where are the elephant shoes from? Those are so adorable!
They are from a consignment shop!
Wait till you get the HUGE eggs with the double yolks! Lots of young ones lay those! So cool. My kids thought it was so neat but had to b a bit painful for the chicken 😉
