Hooray! I can’t wait until tomorrow to share this! The winter slump is over, and the ten or eleven remaining hens are starting to lay again. Mandi and Seth (the weekday gatherers) report that every day this week there are more.

We’re the big mamas. Ready to make you some eggs! Thanks for feeding us all winter!
Now maybe we can get a few more. We’re still going to do more coop work. But I’m so glad they’re out of the winter doldrums.
