We picked up 5 Delaware hens from my husband's aunt's farm on Sunday because I can't say no to more chickens. Our flock is only 9ish weeks old, so they aren't going to be laying any time soon which is why we accepted them. We knew it might be awhile until they started paying for us and today, when I was cleaning their area I happened to look down and see the bottom egg. Thought that was that and was excited enough and then I found the top egg tucked into a corner!

Definitely excited to have our first backyard eggs, even if these aren't hens we've raised from chicks.

Now if only they would use the nesting boxes and not just any ole location in the run.

And in case anyone is wondering/worries, these 5 are in a separate coop and run than our main flock.
