In case you were wondering.... This little fact of life came from a FB friend.

Absolutely! I got it on Facebook from another friend.

It's funny you should mention that. It wasn't conscious when I named her. She had a sister named Ruby, and I just thought the two names Ruby and Reba sounded cute together.

This morning we had a lush patch of spinach in this pot. Then the wind blew over the tomato cage. Reba is caught red-handed!

Interesting article. I wonder what it means for the chicken. http://www.geekosystem.com/chicken-eye-matter/

We have an interesting situation. Our motley flock of a dozen or so chickens that we share with our neighbors is free range. Currently five of our girls sleep in our henhouse. We lock them up at night, and let them out each morning. For the past week, a 3-year-old hen stays indoors all day as...
