Annie laid her first egg early this morning! The photo included with this post was taken at 6:02am, confirming that my bold prediction yesterday — an egg before the end of April — was spot on. Phew! Typically, additional eggs are laid every other day, though that timing can vary. Still, this is exciting news!
As a reminder, incubation lasts about 40 days per egg, so we can expect the first chick to hatch around June 8–10. The countdown has officially begun.
