Hello Sunshine.
Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 10:28AM Oh, what a gorgeous week here on the farm! I’ll take January weather in the 60’s anytime. The animals, the humans, and the grass enjoyed the sunshine so much we decided to share a few photos from yesterday.
Molly enjoyed the warmer weather for sure! Hey look – our pastures are still green! Love that all our hard work at mob grazing is finally starting to pay off.

Some of our laying hens show off for the camera. The black one in the back is the Silkie, who lays the pastel green eggs you’ll find in our egg cartons. Calvin calls her Fuzzy Feet because she has feathers on her feet. And boy, Fuzzy Feet is very particular about the nest she lays in. It has to be the 3rd one and only the 3rd one. If one of the other hens is in her nest when she’s ready to lay, she will wake up the entire neighborhood with her caterwauling. Funny chicken. Did you know that laying hens lay better in warm weather?
I don’t care how many times I do it, but collecting eggs is the one chore I just can’t wait to do every afternoon! It’s like Christmas or something. I go from nest to nest like a kid counting to see how many we got today. Is that weird?
Ole Red is very well loved. Isn’t she beautiful? Every time kids come visit, they rub Old Red and exclaim “She’s so soft!”
Hope you’re enjoying the sunshine as much as we are!
