The magnificent rooster went to a good home - a nirvana with 40 hens for him to service. That was in November. It is February now, and the hens are laying regularly. Their eggs are gorgeous: light chocolate-coloured shells, with bright yellow yolks inside. We let the chickens out in the morning when we leave for work, then corral them back in at the end of the day. They happily peck their way around the yard, leaving plenty of fertilizer everywhere. Kouya the puppy loves to chase them and pin them down, so I can't leave her out in the yard alone with them. I don't think she quite knows what to do with them when she catches them, but it is great sport for her.
