Chicken Update

  Well, the last 2 days have us feeling cautiously optimistic about our chickens.  We got 5 eggs yesterday (a new record for this batch of chickens!) and so far have 4 today. The previous 2 days were terrible, though.

  Here's a very strange thing...our Auracanas are laying like crazy. You can see the picture above shows more green than brown eggs, even though we only have 4 chickens who can lay green eggs.  We are wondering whether the Auracana breed was more resistant to THE DISEASE that has so far killed 7 of our chickens.  Whatever the reason, it is fun to get lots of green eggs.
