Happy Solstice!

We had an immediate increase of light here on Solstice day...


...in the form of a covering of snow.

Same here, store bought eggs all winter. They just can't compare to the 'home grown' ones from my flock of 5! This is the 2nd winter for my girls though, so guess it's to be expected (not liked, but expected )

I know! And if only it didn't come at the same time of year as prime baking season when you need those eggs more than ever!

Well, that's one way of brightening things up!

My pullets started laying a week or two ago
Also here's a gif of the snow at our farm . That's a first: The other day it was 65F and raining.

Nice! Snow is definitely better than rain in the winter. The cold and wet from the rain chills to the bone and makes things and icy mess overnight. I've seen a few pics of snow from the east coast today, looks like there might be a white Christmas! It's snowing in Colorado now too!

We still have snow on the ground from the past several falls and more predicted tomorrow.

I think my layers are hoping Santa brings them all fur coats

Maybe they are all hoping Santa brings eggs so they can continue the laying strike and not become dinner!

No danger of them becoming dinner but they might want eggs from Santa so they don't look like such freeloaders

It does brighten things up...ground had been bare for weeks and is mostly bare again now.

I had two eggs this morning! My two layers have been taking turns each day and skipping a day here and there.
I have a EE who should start laying soon and hopefully my two freeloaders will join in the fun.

I'm loving your avatar! Two pretty gingers in that picture
