It's been an exciting week here on the farm.  Rupert has discovered he is a rooster and he has found his voice.  And what a fine boisterous voice it is!

In keeping with Rupert's new discovery, one of our girls has laid her first egg.  A fine specimen too-- good size and very hard shelled.  She followed up her accomplishment with additional eggs each day after.  Now if her sisters will just follow suit!
