I guess we'll keep them.......

We had just about given up on our Hens when Doug discovered  two eggs about three weeks ago.


I guess we will keep them after all......
Hallie was so excited that she made a video of Duckie (Carter named her),
nesting in our backyard and laying an egg.  Well, she actually missed the laying part, but just picture a hen in labor making lots of noise for about 2-3 minutes and you'll get the picture.  It's so funny when the kids hear a hen laying an egg because then it's a race to get their shoes on and they run outside and to see who gets to retrieve it.  I know the novelty will wear off, but for now we are enjoying it.  It really is rather easy entertainment.

With the cold weather lately  the hens have pretty much been cooped up in their coop.
However, when the kids are playing in the backyard, they'll let them out for a while  (or a day or two when they/we forget).

We are getting three eggs a day and we never seem to run out of eggs anymore.

Yay for Hens that actually lay eggs.
