The birds have landed!

We picked up the gals on Saturday morning at the farmers market! Meet Rosita, Angie, Maxwell Smart, and Barbara Walters...



Within two hours Maxwell Smart had figured out how to climb into the hen house and she laid our first egg in the nesting box! Good thing she got the last name Smart!


By the end of the first day, all the ladies had laid an egg. Although none of the other ones figured out the hen house. We have some training to do!


We've had nine eggs already! I poached the first egg for Sunday morning breakfast. Mom also used our eggs in her chocolate chip cookies, which were amazing (thanks to the eggs!).

Here are some more pictures:




And our uninvited poultry visitors:
