Well, that was a first!
Just the other day, we found our first white chicken egg on our homestead. Ever since we started keeping laying hens we have only had light brown eggs, but now we are getting a periodical white one. Something has obviously changed. Do you want to know what changed?
NOW WHERE DID THAT WHITE EGG COME FROM?
Just the other day we celebrated the eighth birthday of Pinkie-Pepper. At one point, I gathered up the older and took a walk over to a neighbor's house. Unbeknownst to Pinkie, they had a special gift that they wanted to give her for her birthday.

This was an interesting one, since we did not know that there was going to be a chicken in the gift bag! It wasn't in there long and had plenty of room to breathe, but they told Pinkie-Pepper to open it right away. She was sure surprised!
They were also getting rid of their other chickens, so they told us that we could buy them if we wanted to. Since the have been saving some money lately and they are doing a good job with their schoolwork and chores, we allowed them to pick some up.
In the end we got five new laying hens. Two were gifted to Pinkie-Pepper for her birthday and the other three were purchased by the . It was a very happy day for those
