Chicken Herder

I’m the sort of person who always assumes the best, but is painfully aware of the possibility of the worst.  For the last couple months I’ve had this niggling voice saying things like, “Your hens probably won’t lay any eggs.”  Once the eggs starting coming it changed to, “They probably won’t use the nesting boxes.”  I know, it’s a stupid voice, but it’s mine.  Anyway, I am glad to let you know that every egg that my lovely hens have brought into the world since the boxes went up has been laid in said boxes.  Today I had three more, two of which (a brown and a blue) were together in the same bay (#2).  It’s nice to see them sharing so nicely.
