As cold as it has been all week, she laid her first egg since October. This is a sure sign of spring! I guess the increasing daylight is more important to her than the temps.
It's always interesting to see the places she chooses to lay her eggs. The girls that live in the hen house almost always lay their eggs in nesting boxes, but I think Kate enjoys all the options available to her in the barn. Today she chose my wheelbarrow where I toss the twine that binds our hay bales. There was just enough hay attached to the twine for her to make a nice little nest.
Thanks, Kate!
