Finally our hens laid eggs! Emma is ecstatic! I am relieved. Emma has checked several times a day for 3 months to find nothing. She worried and worried and worried that she'd never find an egg. She worried that maybe we had roosters instead of hens. She worried that we'd have to eat the chickens if they didn't lay. She worried that she'd done something wrong....All we could do was remind her that it would just take time and to be patient. We tried to tell her that all of the worry wouldn't do a bit of good. I suppose that while that is true, it is something we all learn for ourselves.
