There have been numerous challenges in the first weeks of this year; some days are pretty discouraging. But, late yesterday afternoon, as I was preparing for the predicted extremely frigid weather, I discovered my flocks' first egg of 2026!
Sweet, skittish Lydia -- a rose-comb brown Leghorn and the only one in her coop who lays white eggs -- had given me a wonderful gift. And, I got there before it had a chance to freeze! Sometimes, the tiniest present can improve the entire day.
