Northern Lights

I’m starting 2014, not with a post about chickens, but with a bit of miraculous beauty to set the tone for the New Year. This is a video that Steve took last summer while in Iceland with four Boy Scouts on a high adventure trip. This was filmed one evening at Skaftafell campground. The tents are lit by the rising moon, and the aurora borealis dances in the sky.

Yearly Egg Chart

I keep a daily record of egg production. I found an unused, vintage chart on eBay, that I copy and use each year. For 2013 I had two up on my kitchen bulletin board – one for the Gems and one for the ladies. Today I’ll be tallying up how the girls did and reporting on that later in the week to you.

As my New Year’s gift to you, below is a scan of the chart. Click on the graphic and it will pop-up as a PDF for printing out.

I wish everyone baskets of beautiful eggs in 2014!
