First Egg

There was great excitement at our red house yesterday when we found the first egg laid by our new hens.  It was perfect in every way.

Going back through my blog archives I found the photo below of the first, tiny egg laid by one of our Melbourne bantams four years ago.  The hands that held it were four years younger and smaller than the hands in yesterday's picture, yet the excitement of discovery was exactly the same.
