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.


isn't this the most beautiful dozen eggs in the whole world?
