There will be celebration in our house tonight. I can't stop grinning.

Lacey laid her first egg! Its just gorgeous! Perfectly light brown with almost purple spots. Its smaller than what I think they'll develop to be, but perfect shape and hardness.

Eric got to witness the commotion. Apparently she'd been trying out a number of places throughout the yard. Finally he caught her laying in the shavings on the floor of the coop. He gently picked her up and put her in the nesting box and she looked around as if to say, "woah, where'd this place come from? this is perfect for me to lay an egg in!" A few minutes later she was carrying on quite loudly and he knew she was at work.

I was only 30 minutes from being home so he waited for all four of us to check the box together.

Ta-da! Here it is!
