Our First Egg
Hey my friends!
I forgot to tell you about our first EGG!
A couple of weeks ago, one of our hens, Lucille, left us this sweet surprise 🙂
The cutest little brown egg ever!
And here she is, our one and only egg layer, so far 🙂
She and our new banty cochin snuggle up and roost side by side.
This is Tinkerbell, a fancy little “fluffy butt”, with feathers down her legs.
We made french toast with our fresh eggs today,
it has been “egg-citing” around the farmyard lately.
And, do you remember my sugar mold I used to have holding
candles on my coffee table??
Well, I decided to use it as a planter on our table on the porch.
So, what do you think?
I’d like to thank you all for voting for me at the
I appreciate you taking time to do this 🙂
I’m joining The Homestead Barn Hop with Amy.
I really appreciate you all for following along.
Blessings

This is so exciting! We just recently got chicks and I can't wait until they get big. I've never had a fresh egg before!
Congratulations on the first fresh egg. I think chickens are really neat little characters. Hugs, Deb=^..^=x5

the planter looks great – and all the best for you making the top 25!
How exciting! I would love to have chickens, I think it would be so much fun.
Love your planter idea too 🙂
What a cute nestled little first egg! Your chickens are cute. I have always wanted to hold a chicken in my arms (never have in my life).. maybe someday. 🙂

Love the chickens and the 1 egg…too funny! I have one of those candle holder thingies too…great idea with the plants for spring! thanx for sharing, tiff
First of all, Lucille is a beauty!!! I am so happy that she is well and laying eggs for you. Praise God for healed chickens!!!
Second…You got my vote!! You know you are my inspiration in so many ways and my friend!!
Congratulations on the egg! And I just added my vote for your blog!
Have an egg-citing week ahead (sorry – could'nt resist!).
Congratulations on your first egg! I remember when we were kids, it was so exciting when our hens started laying eggs. Fun memories!
Have a great day.

All the girls look lovely!

Congratulations on the egg! So cool!! I hope you have more egg layers soon…especially before Easter! 😉

Oh, that is so sweet! I love chickens!! We used to have ducks and got an egg every day. There's nothing like fresh eggs!!!
Lucille is "Egg-cellent!" (Couldn't resist) We'll be getting baby chicks next month but it will be a few months before we see any of those lil' buggers! 🙂
Your chickens are so cute and that egg was almost too pretty to eat!!
I love how you have changed up the sugar mold…it looks great!
XO,
Janie
How exciting~! I am waiting for my little chicks to come in. We have ordered them and Mr. Vintage is going to build a chicken tractor. I can hardly wait! Love the sugar mold planter 😉
How wonderful to have your own eggs. Fresh! Your chickens (or hens?) would be wonderful to paint.
I love the sugar mold turned planter! I'm a gardener so I love to see what people come up with for planters. There is a new book Gardening in No Time, that has wonderful ideas for planters.
Love that little egg! Love all of your spring touches too – especially the "borrowed" red bud branches – very pretty. I might have "borrowed" a thing or two like that, I just might have!
Cute little egg! I'm using galvanized buckets as hanging planters this year…instead of those plastic hanging pots from the hardware store…I threw those away…lol…Mel's Cabin is all about rustic and easy life..
OH the joy of fresh eggs… Luck girl I have always wanted chickens have a great day

Your chickens are such good girls!
Would love to have chickens! There's nothing like fresh eggs in the morning. Ahhh.
Love what you did with your sugar mold too!
We've got another month until we can start planting up here…usually Mother's Day weekend and then you're good to go!
Thanks for sharing!
How wonderful. I've heard from so many people how rewarding raising chickens is. As a city dwellerm, I'm afraid we can't. Your sugar mold looks like a perfect planter, I used mine in my craft room for all of my brushes, art pens, rulers ect. Maybe I'll find another at one of the flea market shows this spring to make a planter.

Congrats on your egg! Isn't it so exciting when you finally start to see the fruits (or should I say eggs) of your labor? 😉 Thanks for sharing this with the Homestead Barn HOp!
Aaah, how sweet! Your little chickens are "good eggs" 🙂
Oh my goodness Lucille is just precious!!;) Love your wooden mold too! Hugs,Rachel

This so makes me want to move…to the country 🙂
My tiny hen house is being built as we speak, I've missed my hens for 10 years…it's time…mmmm…French toast with fresh eggs, nuttin' better!
Congrats on the first egg! I remember my first egg we got from our chickens–it was on Halloween last year. They are such good layers and one of them is now broody sitting on her nest 🙂 Hope you enjoy many more eggs to follow!
Oh how sweet!!!

Becky, this certainly is eggciting news. I always wanted hens but don't think they are in my future…my husband hasn't been swayed…yet:o)
Enjoy your future eggs!!
Carrie
Congrats on the first egg! We have Rhode Island Reds and we were eggstatic with our first egg! 😉
Love all your pictures (as always)…still working on my "whites"….it's coming along…will share some pics with you when it's done. Thanks again! 🙂
What a beautiful egg! And beautiful chickens. Your little herb garden looks so good….I'm envious. I forget to water for a day or two and they are DEAD, DEAD, DEAD! Happy Spring from Houston, TX!!
I'm such a sucker
for chickens and
if I were a farmer's
wife, we'd be the
vegetarian kind that
ONLY eat the eggs and
never the bird!!!
So sweet, Becky!

What an amazing experience! the first egg 🙂 I've always wanted chickens and this post is just stoking the fire 😉
we bought our first baby chickens last spring, and we got the first egg it felt like Christmas !!! Even now, with 6 eggs a day on average, I still am excited to get eggs, I so appreciate them and it is such a marvel and great experience, hard to put into words….enjoy!! Linda
Love me some good ole "fresh eggs"!! Might just have to "borrow" your idea of using the sugar mold as a sweet planter! Right now, mine is just setting on my work table with no purpose! Thanks for sharing…Happy Creating……….

How exciting, Becky… yay! Your chickens are little cuties! We've been wanting to get some, but we need to build us a chicken coop first.
Great idea to use your sugar mold for a planter… looks beautiful!!
Have a great weekend!

Fresh eggs sound wonderful!

Hi Becky!
I had a little family of baby chickens one time, when I was little. When they got older, my parents made us give them to another farm that had chicken coops. I was so sad to see my little friends go!
Great post.
BTW…. I just passed a Stylish Blog Award on to you this evening on my blog. Please stop by soon and take it and share it as well!
Thanks,
Alison
I'm new to your blog. It looks like there is some egg salad in your future.
Hi Becky,
Congrats of the lovely egg, your hen is beautiful!
I just wanted to let you know I featured you again at "The Vintage Inspired Home". Grab the I'm featured button on the sidebar if you'd like!
Have a great day.
Sincerely,
Melinda
I remember the excitement of getting our first egg last Spring. We were hootin and hollerin like it was Christmas morning. Now we are getting beaucoups from our four girls. Beautiful brown ad blue and green eggs. Our neighbors just love it when I give them a dozen eggs. 🙂
