Some of the Sussex gals enjoying clumps of grass I dug up just for them.

Those look to be very interesting clumps of grass, indeed

Much more welcome than gumball gusts are those fresh eggs. Good job Claudia and Lois!

We saw a bee out today in MI. Not quite your 60 degrees, but it did hover around 50, the warmest in quite a while. A lot of snow melted. Is all of yours gone yet?

Happy Valentine’s Day to fuzzi & friends!

Yesterday I got four eggs...two Sussex pullet eggs, one from a game bird pullet, and one from a hen, suspect a Dominique (top right):

But todays eggs were three Sussex (one was a hen egg), one game bird pullet, and another hen egg, either from a Dominique...or Esther!

That's a good big egg

It got up to 33 here, the snow slumped quite a bit but we still have tons.

It's rained every day for weeks now here in Bristol, It's also been windier than usual according to the weather records.
I wouldn't swap for the snow though. Snow is wonderful when you've got nothing that needs doing. The rain, one can keep most of it off but the entire transport network doesn't grind to a halt and one doesn't need a shovel.

I have seen how pullets are integrated more once they start laying, but even though they're not currently laying the older hens are still higher up in the pecking order!

Seeing exactly the same!
