Hens Lay At Last!

The first egg laid this term was laid on the 14 of June 2010. We know what you're thinking... finally!
We all think it's Snowy- we all recognise the style of her eggs. It's a bit smaller than the eggs layed by other hens and its very pale. We were all very excited and when Aaron said there was an egg Jeannie and Sam thought he was joking, but when Jeannie looked into the cage she shouted, "There is an egg! There is an egg!" But Sam still said, "You're still joking. I know there is no egg at all!" But when Sam unlocked the padlock he exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! There really is an egg!"
When Jeannie took the egg back to the class room she whispered "There was an EGG!" and everyone clapped as loud as they could seeing the egg safely in the carton. Mrs.Tobin was the most excited of all. She clapped and cheered, she even took a photo of it! Here is the photo with the very special egg that saved the hens lives (before they layed this egg we were threatening them to make chicken soup!)

  1. This is so exciting. I hope there is more to come. Obviously they were not happy about the chicken soup. Please no fighting over who gets this "special" egg!!!!!

  3. At last! I was starting to think that they wouldn't lay any! One is better than none. It may take a while to fill the carton up though ... have they laid anymore since? You all do such a great job looking after things at school! Julie
