TOUGH WINTER FOR THE CHICKENS

Well the chickens have been living the quiet life this winter. They were locked up for about 6 weeks because of all the snow. They were not happy and egg production went right down.Just enough eggs to supply the two of us.
But its been nice the last couple of weeks and production is up and The Lone Ranger is up to his old tricks.
He is part of the roosters in the bachelor coop and flew over the fence (and old trick) and The Incredible Hulk decided to join them. Tonto used to follow him but he is with the hens and is not about to leave lol. So the bachelors got their wins clipped. 
One of the chicklets must have decided to start laying eggs. I have never seen an egg this small.
