It seems like only yesterday that the abbey’s baby chicks and ducklings arrived. Well, the hatchlings have all grown up and began laying eggs of their own just over a week ago. At first there were two or three eggs each day, but now Br. Aaron is collecting close to a dozen daily.

That’s not bad for a brood of 15! The eggs will be a welcome addition in the monastery kitchen.
In related news, a weasel wiped out the monastery’s ducks, but the abbey ordered a new group of ducklings and they are doing well. Hopefully they will also begin producing eggs in the near future.
