7/27 Our chickens keep growing and we have been waiting for our first egg. Jake feeds and checks them in the mornings and Luke at night. Jake takes the most interest in the birds. He gets a kick out of their talking and noises. He will take them out of their cage and hold them. He named his black and white striped hen Elda. After we were gone to Spring Lake she died. I blamed the heat and not having enough water. I felt bad that of all the chickens it had to be Jake’s. Today I found our first chicken egg. I was just as excited as Jake!We have eggs!
