The eggs are here!

It happened before we even realized it! How are the chickens five months old already?

Here’s the proof!

We discovered the bird’s hiding place inside a brush pile (we’ve meant to clear it out a few weeks now, but it’s a jungle gym/nesting box deluxe!)

I caught Icarus coming out of the nest after doing her “business”…

Our little bantams were also laying (without us realizing) so I dug around in their own mini-brush pile and found their stash. 🙂

Poor little Bossy has been struggling with a respiratory infection or worms of some kind — she’s sneezing, gasping and wheezing and the other chickens pick on her, which aggravates the symptoms. She’s in quarantine/hospital rest for now — it kills me to not know how to make it all better!
