Urban Hobby Homesteader: Wish Granted!

Wish Granted!

I had one of the most exciting days of my life yesterday. Well, maybe not ever, but definitely up there. I got to see both Abby and Frannie lay an egg!!! These were egg #'s 8 and 9. It was so fun, even though I ended up sitting out in the cold waiting for about 45 minutes. It was totally worth the numb fingers and toes. I took video of it, and decided to have fun with the editing. Enjoy!

If the quality is not so good, blame blogger you can watch it here on YouTube instead.

They're such good mommies to their eggs!
I laughed out loud when Mabel started stepping on Abby! Abby just hunkered down and held her ground! haha
