Occupied

After a few years of vacancy, our chicken coop is finally occupied again, by one Silkie Bantam and three french hens.  This time, without the sound of a rooster crow.  Our last experience with little hens proved that they were too young to notice that one was, in fact, a rooster ;-)

The children used to race to the coop each morning to gather eggs.  So, last week our new hens started laying eggs, just in time for Easter egg decorating and hunting.  Every morning is like Christmas!
