Happy birthday to me!!

Good morning everyone, hope this finds you all well. I'm doing great...I celebrated my 52nd birthday yesterday! 🎂 Extremely happy about that since life has been so uncertain these days/years.
Anyways, I wanted to share one of my birthday presents that I am extremely grateful and proud of.
. My new hens!🐔
At one time I had more hens but before we'd moved to my son's a racoon killed 4 of my hens.🤬 Between that, winter and the tractor supply feed we'd been feeding our 2 remaining hens our egg gathering had stopped.😫🤦‍♀️
I've been spending @ $40.00 a month on eggs!😱😖 That's freaking crazy!! So I've been asking for months about more hens. I finally got them. They cost 15.00 each (crazy huh!, my last ones were free but no one has any they're willing to part with due to egg shortage etc..)
Anyways, I'm very pleased to introduce my new ladies..

I kinda expected them to go into a shock of sorts and not lay for a day until they got use to things but I was mistaken. This egg was laid in transit over here and yesterday when I checked eggs I had 6 eggs.. so doesn't appear they're going to miss a beat! Yay!

Post note... I'm really considering buying an incubator and or building a brooding box to raise baby chick's. The man that delivered the hens to me was telling me most places won't have hatchlings for sale until August. They're all sold out.
Anyways, I'm tickled about my new ladies and very relieved I'm not going to be buying eggs anytime soon! (Still have a case of store bought eggs so plenty of time to get ahead🥰🤗

Anyways, that's about it for today... yall stay safe and Take care🤗🥰
