A sky like that is almost scary to look at, but beautiful. All we're seeing up here today is grey sky and snow flurries.

@N F C I got my first blue egg of the year yesterday. I got two more today. Three different hens laid these eggs.

My girls are still enjoying their winter break. Congrats on the eggs!

One of the ones that laid today is likely the mother of some of yours.

Then maybe my girls take after their father more than their mother.

Their father never laid an egg at any time. I ate him last fall. He made good chicken noodle soup.

-19 here this morning but the sun is shining and I'm optimistic that warmer days are ahead of us.

My guineas and chickens have been confined for a week now. I think poultry gets a little stir crazy sometimes just like we do. I gave them a treat yesterday, a whole flake of hay. As soon as I walked in with it all of them jumped down on the floor to start scattering it. I've read that guineas need grass and greenery to help their digestive systems work. Probably chickens too. But they sure enjoyed the chance to play in the hay.
