the little gift



Losing Whitey a few weeks ago was tough - she was my favorite chicken, my pet and also my only white egg layer.  Until this week...I went out to collect eggs and found this tiny white egg, the first from one of the new young Leghorn hens.  I didn't expect to see any eggs from the young girls for a few more months, and it was so nice to see a white egg in the hen house again.
