October 14th, 2012: The $600.00 Egg Arrives!

Thank you Barbara for our very first egg.  No wonder you were scratching around in the coop last night and this morning.  What a surprise for us, and Barbara, I bet.

Behold the $600.00 egg!  Cal said it was the best egg he ever ate. 

Now the girls are having a dust bath and relaxing in the yard.  No escape tries today so far.

Both have been staying very close to the coop and us.  Mabel loves sitting on Cal's lap being petting, and Barbara jumped up on my legs while I was reading the paper outside.  They are so funny to watch, and definitely have their own personalities. 

Barbara appears to be the alpha chicken, though Mabel is no push over.

Meanwhile Annie wants to get out and play with them sooooo bad.

Life is good for the Chicken Wrangler.

P.S. The next egg is mine!
