Nothing like having three fully functional girls back in action after the winter months. It was the first time that we had hens fully recover from a molt and produce eggs.
It just goes to show that when you start with a healthy flock that's fed a good diet, magic can happen.
Our lone remaining hen just started laying again too. She's healthier and happier than she ever was, and her eggs are just fantastically beautiful this year. I've always read that chickens do poorly alone, but she seems to be thriving.

I'm also a mother hen to three backyard chickens, one dog, a six-year-old son, and a husband who hates farm chores.
