The evolution of the Egg

Well, at least the eggs at our house.

First - you start with a chicken. This is one of our lovely laying hens. (You can see another one in the background.)

Then one day, after lots of waiting and anticipation, you will unexpectedly find an egg. At first, you may think your husband is playing a joke, because it looks fake. But you will soon find out that it is very real, just funny looking :)

Suddenly, most of your chickens will be laying eggs, and you'll begin to think, "I never have to buy eggs again."

And then, once all of the chickens are laying, you start to think, "Holy cow, what are we going to do with six eggs a day!?!"

And there you have it, the evolution of the egg, from the Lopes perspective.
