The First Egg: A Lesson in Quiet Abundance

Blessings, beautiful souls —

Today, 26/03/26, one of my chickens gave me a beautiful gift: my very first egg! Is this the significance of the abundance double-yolks of my last few days? Was it a sign of what was on the horizon?

I went out during N’s nap to clean up the backyard a little, give them all a pet and some worms as a treat (even though the farmer I got these chickens from said not to give them treats until they start laying; I am weak to cute little coo coos), and to organize their coop. The most beautiful surprise awaited me. I didn’t even hear an egg song, so I had no idea that one of my girls left me this gift. And really, truly, it feels like a gift.

I feel completely honoured – and even humbled – by this experience, by this present. I didn’t know it could feel like this, and I want to carry this into every day. I want to hold onto this gratitude for every single egg, and not take a single one for granted. I’m so emotional, so happy, so thankful.

I feel honoured that my chickens are joyful, comfortable, and settled in their home – with me, with us. I feel honoured that these little ladies that I care for, love deeply, and protect felt I was worthy enough for an egg, and gifted me physical nourishment. I feel honoured that I trusted them with their patience and their flow and was rewarded for that trust. I just feel truly honoured by an egg!

No egg song. No announcement. No dramatic reveal. That part feels important. Because spiritually, this mirrors how manifestation often actually happens: not loudly, not when we’re obsessively watching. But when we’re tending, caring, trusting, and going about life in devotion rather than expectation.

My chickens are manifestation mirrors. I didn’t find the egg while waiting and hoping; I found the egg while nurturing, tending, working, loving… The Universe provides exactly what you need, exactly when it is ready; trust the flow, surrender to it, and hold onto hope above all.

I receive this gift with immense gratitude, this proof of our relationship that we are forming with one another, and I am so glad for the lessons my chickens are teaching me every day.

An Update 27/03/2026:

You can’t make this up – I cried tears of joy when I cracked my chicken’s egg this morning. I’m listening, Universe. I’m listening.
