singer's first egg!
a beautiful dozen
two weeks after finding our first egg, we had a whole dozen!
i'm not totally sure which of the hens are laying - but it is really fun to judge the egg shapes and colors and try to guess. (each hen is said to lay a characteristic shape, so keepers of small flocks do learn to tell them apart....my books tell me). i think 5 of my 10 hens are laying now.
second egg
once i came home from mexico i did get the thrill of finding an egg in the nesting box. i was so excited! there it was. our second egg. simple perfection. resting there in the hay, a tiny gift. a wonder really.
