The four new hens are gorgeous, Rebecca. What a tribe! I have known hens to be quite friendly . My neighbor had an older, very fat yellow-brown hen that would gladly jump in my lap and settle down for a snooze, just like a cat. I loved the feel of the warm feathers and that fat little bird body under my hand. Thanks so much for bringing this lovely post back - and for reminding me of the best way to devour a Cadbury egg. You never fail to lift my spirits.

"they wouldn’t think twice about flying over fences and hedges and roosting as high as their courage allowed." This, Rebecca, is my new motto! I want to roost as high as my courage will take me! Loved this version of the wonderful hens and eggs story. You are a storyteller par excellence. Also, I'm in the 20% group of biting straight through. My favorite thing about Cadbury eggs is the day *after* Easter, they're 50% off in our grocery stores. I used to scoop them up, chop them up, and fold the bits into cookie batter instead of using chocolate chips. All of that melted goodness encased in a cookie! Yum! Happy Easter to you and your Jim, your family, and the hens, too. P.S. Love the idea of eating the eggs in the bath. ❤️🥚
