New Year's Day surprise gift :)

Castelnau RB Pyrenée, France(Zone 8a)

I'm so excited
When I went to let out the chickens this morning, there in the straw were the very first eggs they have laid.
We bought them at 3 weeks old and all they had been doing up to now was eating a lot and growing
There would have been 4 eggs from the 6 chickens, but one had unfortunately been trodden on. Still, it was a wonderful surprise.
I didn't expect them to start laying until the days started to get a lot longer as we don't have lights for them, though we had worked out that they would be old enough to lay around Christmas time.

Fabulous New Year's Day present!!!!!!
