This Christmas story begins with a red hen Rachel has named Mary. Mary in fact is our only laying hen right now while we wait on the young chickens to mature. Before the last storm we moved Mary into the barn where she is free range. We just found her nest and where she has been laying her eggs. Rachel has been collecting the eggs. As she collected yesterday she says "I hope Mary lays a Christmas egg." I say why. "So we can have Jesus." It would have to be the immaculate chicken conception since the roosters are penned away from Mary but I did not get into that.
Wishing all a Merry Christmas!
Michele
