"What's it got in its pocketses, eh?"

"Is it eggses, my precious?"

So, right on schedule, we came home yesterday and Rainbow found an EGG...our first...lying in the dirt inside the chicken fortress' "run" area. No doubt if we let them have the whole back yard it would have been discretely tucked away somewhere stupid that we'd never find. Time to get some of those plastic decoy eggs and leave 'em in their nest hay as a suggestion. That's s'posed to work.

We have no idea who did it. We suspect Beaker as she looks so mature as compared to the other ladies, and has been doing this kind of squatty body language thing when we try and pet her. But who fucking knows, honestly. Could have been anyone.

It was quite small as they always are at first (I'm told), but it was DELICIOUS! See "after" pic below...



By the way: that "Shire Reckoning shit? I totally had to look that up on the interwebs. Really. I didn't just like...KNOW it already or anything. No, really. Swear.
