We're so blessed to be living in such a mild climate. Our family has lived in other areas of Canada where it would have already snowed by now. Here on the East Coastline we still have nice warm weather, and plenty of growing still happening. The colours of the trees are beginning to change, and a lot of vegetation is decaying, yet the final throes of summer are still with us.

Egg layers in the front of the photo and in the back, in their own enclosure/coop, are the broiler birds. I had been letting the egg layers free range all day lately until I noticed a lot less eggs being laid...so I went on a hunt...a literal easter egg hunt (we have easter egger chickens) and lo and behold I find two nests! One in the big greenhouse, and one out in the woods. It's all the pullets doing it, I found teeny tiny green and pink eggs in the nests. So, unfortunately I need to keep them in for a while until these little teenagers (pullets) get used to laying in the nesting boxes with the rest of the hens.

Thanks for moseying around the ol' Homestead with me, I'll just be here counting my easter eggs LOL!
