Today's egg haul may not be very impressive, but that big green egg in front certainly is. That egg is from Tyrion, my 11-yr-old Easter Egger!

Probably not, but I haven't eaten it yet. She has always had longer shaped eggs that have grown larger over the years. The shell is still good quality when compared to some of my 5-8 yr old hens. This hen had earned Best in Show for her eggs 4 different years. However, these past few years, she tends to stop from July until mid March. It's OK, though. The hen contributes a lot more in personality and great stories.
 
With my Easter hatch coming soon, I've been hoping for a broody. A very unlikely candidate started hanging out in the nest box for a few days and is now grumbling at me.

It's my golden Spitzhauben, Sprinkles. They are a very unlikely broody breed - unless they live at @homeschoolin momma 's house. I wonder what kind of mother she will be.

More than likely a great one. All mine have been very good mothers.
 
Happy belated Easter!
We spent several days at the campground down in Putnam. It was nice to see the kids off of their devices for several days. They road their bikes, went fishing, hiked, played on a swinget, kicked a ball... all the things that were normal 30 years ago. AND THEY LIKED MOST OF IT! We cooked over an open fire for lunch and dinner - made pizzas in a cat iron skillet, fried potatoes and pork cutlets in a Dutch oven, and roasted many marshmallows of course. We came back Saturday night and spent Easter at my parents.
