Our hens began laying in the darkest week of December! Now we are averaging about 2 1/2 eggs a day -- they conveniently all lay different color eggs so it's easy to tell them apart. The only problem is bringing myself to use them, because they are so pretty. So I got out my Easter Egg blower so I can save the shells for Easter. Aren't they pretty?
Unblown eggs....working on a full dozen, but we keep eating them.
The notion of chickens in the snow is strangely romantic to me, and during our First December Snow, (not to be confused with The Big December Snow-during which the chickens refused to come out of their pen) I found myself humming "Chickens in the Snow" to myself to the tune of "Strangers in the Night".
Here's one "exchanging glances."

Lovely eggs! Those will be great for Easter decorating! I am glad that the snow did not result in "frozen chicken"!
What is an Egg-Blower?
