Hens and Eggscitement

“The new day dawns and the chickens are the first to rise.”

In my pretty yellow pottery bowl the eggs look beautiful.

The hens gambol around catching bugs for snacks.They run so funny. I love watching them. When the shadow of a hawk sweeps across the grass they sprint for the coop to hide.

Snakes like eggs and we have found five different king snakes inside the coop. They are a beneficial snake so Ron hauls them to the creek and lets them go. He is never one to kill a good snake.

I love the brown speckled eggs we get. When we bring them in in the wire basket and wash them they lie on a towel to dry. Their yolks are a bright yellow. I feel like they are a little more nutritional than the store bought. But for coloring at Easter we got white eggs that took the dyes better.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling .
