We moved the chicken coop to their winter spot. There's not enough left growing on the ground to be able to leave them in one place for more than a day or so. We've moved their pen to a spot in our back yard where it will stay until spring. We will spread dried leaves and other bedding materials in their yard and they will poop, scratch, and peck it to lovely compost throughout the winter.
As Joe went to move the coop he found an egg! Our very first pullet egg!
A pullet is a chicken that is less than a year old. The first eggs laid by a chicken are smaller than regular eggs. After a bit they get the hang of it but as someone who appreciates lots of little things, I've always loved the little eggs!
Here's our egg on the left with a store-bought egg on the right. Hooray for our chickens!
