For the Love of Eggs: Part 5

The chicken coop, as it was, wasn't quite how we imagined a chicken coop should look.
So after some research my husband built some nest boxes, (which we call the Chicken Hotel),


and he added a few places for the chickens to roost.


This week, after all the time and money we've spent caring for the chickens, they finally started earning their keep!

On Monday, we found three eggs.
Tuesday, we got one more.
So far today, we've found two.

And all but one of them have been found on a shelf in the barn on a pile of plastic bags.

 Silly chickens.
(Glass eggs to plant in the nesting boxes have been added to my shopping list...)
