Maudys egg

At last Maudy has given us an egg, such a tiny thing with delicate speckles that I can hardly bear to think of eating it. She made such a fuss in the chook house yesterday so I knew something special had happened. When I looked there it was sitting next to the egg Sage gives us every day that is almost twice the size. Perhaps Maudy will always give us these dear little ones because there was another one in the hay today. She seemed so proud of herself and even allowed me to hold her for a while. Being very shy I'm trying to build her confidence so she's not so nervous and already she seems calmer around me, not so nervous happily scratching around my feet.
