It is the solar term for about five days from today, meaning that it is the time of year when chickens begin to lay eggs at the hint of spring season.

I recall with nostalgia that when I was little, my mother would take me to her parents’ home where a few chickens always were, pick chickweed, cut it into small pieces, and feed it to the chickens.

今日から5日間ほどの七十二候で、鶏が春の気配を感じ、卵を産み始める頃とのこと。

幼い頃、母に連れられて母の実家に行くと、必ず2〜3羽の鶏がいるので、庭や畑からハコベを摘んできて、細かく切って鶏に食べさせたことが懐かしく思い出されます。
