Just in time for Easter!

I have been wondering when these chicks were going to lay eggs for a while now. After getting very frustrated and aimlessly walking around the yard looking for any signs of eggs, nothing! Well that all changed today when Cohen found one egg near his play ground.
The 1st egg we found!

After we were all stoked to have found this one egg we then noticed one chicken lying up underneath a bunch of tree limbs while the other chick hopped up on top of tree limbs. We didn't know what they were doing until one wandered off and we snuck a peek. WAHHH HOOO EGGS!!!

12 eggs!!

After that great discovery the other chick finally moved  and to our surprise MORE EGGS!!!!
Cohen was beyond thrilled to be able to get the eggs out, so from now on this will be his chore!
So all in all we found 1 lonely egg, 12 in the 1st nest and 17 eggs in the last nest, 30 eggs total!! Though we cannot eat them because we have no idea how long they have been there we are all very excited to start having fresh brown eggs straight from our back yard! YUM! Now just to get the garden started and we'll be eating most everything from our back yard!!
