The chickens have arrived!

Thursday night we finally got our chickens! They are Barred Plymouth Rocks. We
named them Henrietta and Sophie. They were pretty stressed out when our friend
brought them over. He said they probably wouldn't lay any eggs until they calmed
down and got used to their new surroundings. It might even be a week before they
lay any. Well he was wrong. There was an egg in the nest yesterday and one
today! I haven't ever had eggs fresh from the chicken before, but I've heard
they're very good. I'm excited to try them.

Our first egg. This is bigger than actual size. It's about the size of a standard grocery store egg.
