Least Favorite Chore
It all starts with a pair of boots.
Yesterday was Friday Project Day. I had put it off as long as I could......Cleaning the Chicken Pens.
So the first thing I did was let the girls out to play.
Then I gathered my tools and supplies to clean the water containers.
"Hey, you guys are having all the fun".
I believe someone has decided to have a dust bath!
Everything I cleaned out of the chicken yard was mixed in with my new compost pile.
The nesting boxes are hung from the outside of the chicken house to make it easy to gather eggs.
It also makes it easier to put fresh hay inside for a nice place to lay an egg.
Spreading fresh wood shavings completes the chore. Now, doesn't that look nice?
Well, after a few hours of work, I'm thinking it wasn't such a bad chore......remembering what I get in return for keeping a happy chicken house!

Fresh Eggs Every Day
This time of year the chickens are taking a break. If you don't have chickens, you may not realize as the daylight hours become shorter, the chickens lay less eggs. But today was the exception. Did you notice I have green eggs ?
After taking a closer look, I noticed one green egg had a surprise attached to it. Yes, that is a feather!
