    Very First Egg!

    Our Jumbo Pekin, Milo, layed her very first egg today! I found it as I was getting her into her enclosure for the night, apparently we had missed it when we took her out this morning. It was a super exciting moment! We still don’t know what we’re going to do with them yet lol. 😄
