so far you you’ve met effie and rue.  this is prim. prim has the most beautiful markings of all her sisters, like a lace shawl draped over her back. we were told to expect our first eggs some time in july.  so we have begun checking the nesting boxes every morning. the prediction that chickens would be less work than a dog, but more work than a cat has so far proved about accurate. we love our girls, and they seem to love their home and us. we are getting excited for œufs à la coque.
