Ice storm pictures…

It’s been very pretty outside; snow on top of ice which hasn’t melted due to the colder temps.

Poor chickens are finally learning the meaning of ‘cooped up’ but are laying like crazy. Even Squeak started up again; yesterday we found 5 eggs (one might’ve been from the previous night) and this morning 3 more. It’s like easter everyday; generally there’s a medium adobe colored one (RIR perhaps), a light pink and a huge brownish pink (the black chickens, which we now think might be Black Stars rather than Giants), and perhaps a greenish blue (Beardo the Ameraucana) and an olive colored egg from Tenderfoot (another Ameraucana). With Squeak laying again there could also be a white/light tan egg. Last night for the first time I made a cheese souffle…I’m not sure it was fully cooked but the edges were getting dark and stuck to the pan. Maybe I’d do better with a real souffle pan rather than a casserole dish…I’m hoping to try a chocolate one next. We’re already up to 9 eggs with maybe a couple more to come today.
