A Grim Sign of Spring

When I went out to close up the barn this evening, I discovered upset chickens.  At first I dismissed their behavior. But on second look, I discovered that one of my speckled Sussex hens had been murdered.

I suspect that a raccoon is looking for food for babies.  My challenge will be to trap the raccoon before it can kill another chicken.

This is war.

The sun broke through and Ulani took a stroll. Such beautiful light!

Barnard Basks!

A ray of sunshine swept across Barnard's chair at the dining table, and she took full advantage by turning every which way to soak up the spring warmth.

A "Variety" of Eggs

BOFFO EGG BOX!!! 
Hen Honcho Hoots: "Super Spring!" 

Galien, Michigan. It was announced today from Busy Solitude Farm, home of the Beautiful Egg, that spring has arrived a week early. The hen team worked overtime to produce three dozen eggs in the past week -- "simply unprecedented production" was how Proprietor Johanna "The Egg Lady" described it. 

Easter Bunnies hoping to fill their baskets with beautiful pastel blue, green, and brown eggs should place their orders now, or risk resorting to bland, old grocery store eggs and vinegar dye.
