Hens are happy again

   Did you know that day length effects egg laying?  Also, a hen can't lay an egg until her basic need of food, water, and shelter are met.  Now that the days are getting longer, we are collecting eggs again.  Actually, this winter was the first time in years we had to buy eggs for ourselves.  What we noticed the most was the lack of flavor in grocery store eggs.  It had been so long, we had forgotten.  This was an example of circumstance reminding us about real food.
