A first for 2012!

No, you're not imagining things--we got FOUR eggs from our chickens today! Spot (the layer of green eggs) has been molting since mid-January and chickens don't lay when they're molting. In addition, the short days of winter suppress something in the chickens' brains that keeps them from laying an egg every day. We haven't seen a green egg since mid-January and haven't seen even three eggs from the non-molters since some time last year. This is a banner day!
