Eggcitement

IT'S HAPPENED!  ONE OF THE GIRLS HAS LAID AN EGG!  I got home from work and went into the garden for a bit of a chat with the chickens.  I was giving them a little bit of corn and we were having a pep talk about when they were going to start producing anything other than poo.  The husband was displaying his chicken whisperer technique to great success.  Although I had already checked the nest boxes in the morning I decided to have another look prompted by a eggquiry from hubby.  And lo, look at this little beauty...

And the key word here is little.  Spot our egg amongst this lot...

In other news the Salad Queen has been busy.  She has harvested her first cucumber (tasted great despite manky leaf disease) and created a bread roll spider for our last rainy barbecue.  Don't ask - its just how we spend time here at Chateau Madhouse.



One last question: any suggestions for splitting one egg five ways?
