dancing in the chicken coop

When we returned from Mexico I was delighted to find that our chicken had started laying eggs. Yesterday for the first time I got 5 eggs in one day. They are still getting the hang of what to do. When they first started laying Lily found an egg one of the hens had layed in the yard. She brought it to us in her mouth. Yesterday when I went to clean the bottom of the coop I found someone had tried laying an egg while sitting on the roost a foot and a half off the ground. The egg broke when it hit the floor. And then there is the hen that insists on laying her sweet little blue offering on the floor under the nesting boxes each day. One day I even moved her into a nesting box while she was setting and after I was gone she got out of the box and left her egg on the floor once again. We took our first eggs, offered them in a wave offering to the Lord then made asparagus quiche with Mexican cheese and took it to our elderly neighbors.
