When Amanda went home for lunch yesterday, she worried because Basil "wouldn't come out of the chicken house." The hens always come running and clucking when they see a human, hoping for an interesting snack, like garden greens or bread crust.
Apparently, Basil was "busy" inside and wanted some privacy. When Amanda checked the nest box, she found THREE beautiful brown eggs. That means several of the ladies started laying all at once. (A chicken egg is a small miracle in itself, and a hen can only produce one such miracle a day.)
She left them in the box, so the girls could gather up their first eggs when they got home that evening. Breakfast!
