With the lengthening days and the warmer temps, the chickens have started laying eggs- pink, green, and brown ones.
The ones with an X we leave in their 'nest' and the others we collect.
They have decided to start a community nest in the hay bales in the garage, just a few steps away from the kitchen.
The slightly warmer garage keeps them from freezing quite as quickly and you can't beat it for convenience.
After trying so hard to collect eggs last winter
only to find them all cracked from freezing,
I wasn't counting on a single egg until spring.
After trying with no success to track the hens to their well-hidden nests in the woods last summer,
I was pleasantly surprised to have them deliver!
