    1 egg today, from Helmikuu :) Harvested an overgrown rutabaga today, and the girls enjoyed all the greens. I made soup with the root, which was surprisingly yummy!

    4 eggs today, from Août and the young hens :) Brelly laid an egg, so I guess I shouldn’t have counted her out before!

    Yep! They stop laying occasionally for many different reasons. In this case, my Juin laid over 300 eggs last year (her first year) even though she’s not a production breed. Since winter ended she has laid sporadically, gradually tapering off to nothing by mid-spring. She needs a molt and a...

    3 eggs today, from Juillet, Helmikuu and Marzo :) Juillet decided to lay hers on the tiled area of the coop. She’s such a goofball! It was thin, and cracked when it landed. Luckily the membrane held firm, and I could cook it up for the girls to eat before bed.
