The days are getting longer, and the white hen has begun laying again! At first, we couldn’t find her eggs, but yesterday, we found her roosting spot (she doesn’t seem to want to lay eggs in the roost) and we have fresh country eggs for breakfast again.

This is a sure harbinger of Spring, still a couple of months  away, but beginning to show up in the light, the strength of the sun, and the demeanor of the animals.

The gray hen, alas, is fading once more, she is no longer able to get in or out of the roost, we have to lift her up to keep  her from wandering at night. I think it’s about time for me to end her suffering, I’m must waiting for Maria to get used to the idea.
