Spring is in the air -- and that means more eggs from our small flock of eight laying hens. Soft blues, cinnamon browns, rich creams, and speckles -- nothing more beautiful than the natural palette of Mother Nature. Pictured here is "Pumpkin" -- one of our best layers -- a three year old "Red Star" from "Another Quality Chick" hatchery in Decorah, IA (www.decorahhatchery.com/). Nicoletta picked out Pumpkin when she was only a day old during a trip to Iowa with friends - which meant for a loud car ride home (lots of peeping, which is better than ... ahhh ... you know ... and if not, read our first blog entry and you'll get the idea).
