The chicks

We have beautiful chickens in the backyard. There are Aracaunas, Leghorns, Rhode Island Reds, Plymouth Rocks, one Sexlink, one other, I believe. The good news is that they lay big, beautiful eggs, the sad news is they are laying fewer since the days are shorter and it is getting colder. However, there is more good news. The Aracauna chickens are laying eggs and guess what!!?? THEY ARE BLUE! It is so cool! I have never seen blue eggs. I can't say they taste different, I am just so happy they are laying. We average about 8 a day still and I have been actually enjoying making breakfast. I love breakfast, but I hate to make it. I want to enjoy it. I want someone else to make breakfast, but lately, I have been making eggs and it has been fun and delicious. It is really enjoyable to have these chickens and it is so cute to watch the rabbits chase each other in the morning as I stare out the window, drinking my coffee and eating my breakfast.
