They might stay this year...


Chickens making their own nests........




We have a great set of nesting boxes for the chickens...But Roxanne chose to make her own nest...though Roxanne is an Araucana...should be laying bluish/pinkish eggs...this is a brown...we have yet to see an egg that is Araucana like.

Andrew asked how the cats were..........




Though they are still spending a fair amount of time inside...I'll get some pictures outside tomorrow...seventy degrees.......

Bridge over mushy ground...




Bruce built me a bridge to cover the very slippery slope to the chicken coop and garden...in a few weeks it should be dry enough to remove the bridge and plant some grass.

Chickens Approve !
