Update #9

Greetings from the North Pole! Today it was absolutely freezing and windy, and I felt like Laura Ingalls going out all bundled up to open the coop. At first I didn't wear gloves and my hands became quite numb. No frostbite though! :)

We've been getting ten eggs a day on average, though today it was only eight. I think that's probably what it'll be like in the winter. We have had several humongous eggs (all double yolkers), which are so big the carton can't be shut!

The pictures below are from last week, when there was a surprise dusting of snow. When I let the girls out they were very quiet and peered about curiously.

See that one in the very front, with the teeny comb? That's Winnifred.
