Hi. Although I've been subscribing and corresponding for the last two weeks I just figured out how to introduce myself properly. I'm from Ontario Canada. Small hobby farm with sheep, horses, chickens, bees, dogs and cats of course. I'm a spinner and weaver. Trying to live natural rhythms. When spring comes I'm going to start a thread asking how you all keep chickens out of your vegetable garden, but for now, just the existential question: why does the meanest hen lay the perfect egg!!?
