Here are some pictures that Scott took yesterday when he and Jordan went outside to rescue the chickens.
The door the chickens go in and out of is under two feet of snow.
I guess being stuck inside a chicken coop for over 24 hours was enough to get our chickens to start earning their keep.
We've been waiting for this day for about 6 weeks now. It is about time!
Today I am grateful that my family is still safe and warm and that our chickens finally started laying eggs. Yay!

Yeah, the chickens are safe--I'm glad you guys are safe, too ; ) Hooray for eggs.
Enjoy your kids being home.
(We got a bunch of snow last night, too.)
That's great! Who got to eat the egg?
Hooray! It's a Snow Day miracle.
YAY!!! Ditto what Annie said.
I love snow, maybe not that much, but still love it.
We're headed outside today too, I just have to keep telling myself, "this is good, it WILL be fun...one day at a time until Wednesday!"
Glad you're safe and warm and have lots of eggs!
My kids go to school Monday, don't go Tuesday, then go back Wednesday. ????
My kids go to school on Tuesday. =/
I'd rather be snowed in than driving in it to work. Note that is only driving to work. Driving to drive in the snow and plying in the snow I enjoy.
Snow brings out the kid in me and hubs. He's got a mean snow ball throw. ;)
How fun you got an egg! I really can't believe it snowed so much!
Wowza. That's alot of snow!
Jordan and the golden egg! hooray!
From the looks of that snow it looks like you guy really needed that snow day! I'm glad you have power and WAHOO for the egg!!!
I'm soo happy they started laying for you--you have so many for one--may be a privacy isuue--and then the chilly weather on top of it. Sounds like they finally cozy. :0) If you leave an egg or golf ball in their boxes you will probably get more. Fun, isn't it?
I love to hear what you're grateful for.
Stay warm.
Bbrr, makes me shiver reading your last post!
Hey, if you are comfortable, I would love to get your email address as we are going to "invite only" status on our blog.
Your egg looks perfect! All of the farm fresh eggs I've had have always been weird colors like blue, green, or brown. I guess it could be the type of chicken, I'm definently not an expert.
Congrats on the egg!
