So yesterday, after the third day of no eggs in the nest went I went to collect, I thought- well, maybe that's it for awhile- Winter has really set in. Those cold, dark days and freezing water- the hens say, not till Spring!
That was till today when I brought out a nice plate of kitchen scraps- there! I saw Grandma, sitting on the straw bail, just next to the chicken coop- and apparently, judging by the eggs popping out from under her- laying atop a huge pile of eggs! 16 of the them to be exact!
So, go figure! I thought the hens were through for the Winter, instead they just said- hmm, doesn't this nice private & protected straw bail look spacious yet cozy?!
That'll do, chicks, that'll do.
