Thanks for posting these pics! I have a couple of hens that look like this that I got in a “layer special” from M McM. I don’t remember if it was a rainbow special or not. But it might explain these eggs…
Although, I’m also getting a few like the one you posted.
I hope it’s a better experience for you when you try the “after the video” approach.
It will be in the 60s here again today, too. Makes it hard to want to stay in and clean house (it needs to be done - DS2 and family are coming for the weekend. I spent some time yesterday cleaning out the...
Good Afternoon, Pond!
Warm, sunny and windy here on the prairie. Spent some time in the greenhouse working some good old barnyard compost into the soil. It was nice and warm in there. The heat felt good!
Good Afternoon, Cafe’!
Never fear, there is a bipartisan committee of politicians introducing yet another bill (The Sunshine Protection Act) to end the time change nonsense. At this point, I don’t even care which time they change it to (although my preference would be to have DST in the...
Good Afternoon, Pond!
A bright, sunny day today. I spent some time in my greenhouse pulling weeds, getting ready to plant things. It’s still way too early to plant, but not to dream and plan. I’m also contemplating putting a small hugelculture plot in my big garden, just to see what it’s like...
Good Afternoon, Cafe’!

Sprinkles? Yes, please!
Good Afternoon, Cafe’! Local grandkids needed watching last night, so I took the day off today and we had a sleepover. Grandson and Grandpa spent some time in the shop, Granddaughter and I played some Chutes and Ladders and Old Maid. Kids and I went out to the greenhouse...
Good Afternoon!
Cloudy and windy here today, but still got up to 60. I’ve been turning the furnace off and opening the windows the past few days. As long as I remember to change those things back to the way I found them before bedtime, we’re in good shape. It’s still too chilly at night not to...
I prefer to let the hen raise the chicks, but it’s a personal choice. I leave my hen and her brood separate from the flock for about a week, then integrate them. Mama will teach them how to be chickens and protect them with her life.
