I just had to tell someone - My 9 year old Araucana had just laid an egg. She laid a few last year, but this is the first this year. She is so pleased with herself and is strutting about clucking to let everyone know.

Wonderful :D it's lovely to see them looking pleased with themselves and that brings us so much joy too!
It may be that some little root of the sacred tree still lives. Nourish it then, that it may leaf and bloom and fill with singing birds. Black Elk
