We Love Snails

The summer storms have brought lots of rain
this week, which means snails of course!
Our friend collected lots of snails from her garden to give to 
Chickadee, Speckles and Frenchy for the perfect snail feast.
Chickadee is about the eat a live snail.
Frenchy loves snails more than Chickadee and Speckles.
Frenchy thinks it's fun to chase Chickadee when Chickadee has a snail in
her mouth, even though there's a whole container full of snails to choose from!
We expect the happy hens to consume all the snails in about 5 days.
The day after the first snail feast, Frenchy laid a tiny 13 gram dark brown egg.
This is very unusual as Frenchy normally lays large eggs in excess of 60 grams.
It's about the same size as a quail egg.
Speckles laid a speckled egg!
