    Another tiny egg today. I am loving this. I give my gals shelter and food and they give me eggs that as of last Saturday were 5 dollars a dozen at the store. I also love her egg song. This is great.

    What treat did your chickies get today?

    My chickens ate a head of loose leaf lettuce and are working on a head of Napa cabbage. They love greens. Can they get too much? I am so new to this that I am afraid I will harm them with my enrichment efforts.
