First Green Eggs of the Season

This week I found three green eggs so far. Someone has started laying again. So…. egg laying really isn’t related to light or temperature. Days are still getting shorter and shorter. And it has been down to -15 here many mornings.

Moult happened quite early this year, I think due to the move across the country. That was quite a stressful event on the body for the chickens ~ besides which they were feather pecked by the time they arrived here. Regardless, everything is back to normal and they all look healthy a puffed out again. They like to be out, even in the cold, as long as there is straw spread on the snow.

Mark is enjoying his fresh eggs again.
