So I got the girls on Monday and on Wednesday Josh went to see them at about 5 o'clock with Charlotte. He came out with an egg! I thought it was a joke, but as I was frying the last of Wendy's eggs in a pan at that very moment for his tea, I suspected his friend Jordan of placing it in the hutch! It seemed far too soon! I remembered that Lily was older than Jem and Mariella so maybe she was ready to lay. I texted Jordan, accusing him of 'planting the egg' to tease me.
Well, on Thursday another egg arrived in the laying box this time. Hmm! Of course, it was the Royal Wedding on Friday and I came over from a small party a few doors away at sevenish to get changed and checked the chickens, and there in the laying box, still warm, was a beautiful egg for all to see. I took it round to give to Emily, the little girl at the party, so she could have it for her breakfast on Saturday. I suppose that's what chickens are supposed to do, lay eggs, but it seems a miracle to me!
