The Girls



Here are a couple pictures the girls - in the first one, Martha checking out some toy chickens on the windowsill; the second one is a nice portrait of Abigail; and the third one gives you an idea of how ragged Dolley looks in the middle of her winter moult. We still haven't gotten a single egg since December 21. Lately I've had to go out in the 25-degree weather to break the ice on their water can in the mornings. They seem to be holding up pretty well despite the cold - even Dolley, who is missing about half her feathers. (I collect them and give them to the preschool for crafts.)
