Here's our herb garden inside the house

Here is one egg from each hen.  Each egg is a bit different, so we know who laid which egg.  Starting at top right and going clockwise: Tulip (her's are longer than the others), Pansy (her's are the darkest and have freckles), Daisy (her's is the smallest of the light-colored ones), and Matilda (her's is the other darker one but with no freckles).

Thank you for joining us on the tour of the backyard!
