Americanas--better than that stupid groundhog


We own a variety of chickens, including two Americanas.  Those are the ones that lay eggs of various colors.  Ours lay green eggs, but, unlike leghorns and Rhode Island reds, they shut down during the winter.  They resume production in the spring.  

Last night the temperature was six degrees.  To me that feels like winter.  Nonetheless, today we got our first green egg.  It might not feel like it, but spring is coming.
