@Starrponies , Welcome!

Weird weather here today. Periods of constant rain and other times bright sunshine.

I've been hesitant to let my chickens out to forage in the yard lately. Last time I let them out they were feeling bold and started ranging too far, over into the neighbors front yard and in the ditch right up next to the road.

As far as my chickens getting into the road, I'm less worried about one of the girls getting run over than I am about a chicken causing a car to go off the road.

Welcome @Starrponies!

Weather has turned nice here, and no freezes forecast for the rest of the month. So, I'm planting seed today.

Yesterday was cleaning day for the coop. Now that I have taken over the chicken chores again, there is a new (old for me) standard to be kept. DH always scooped the sand in the poop boards every day, but the straw on the floor needed changing. So we did that. Things are much better out there. Feeders and waterers cleaned too. It was a lot of work, but I'm so much happier with it. I think the chickens didn't care, but they were excited about new straw to comb through.

This morning my truck had frost on it!

We did not have frost here, the Sun is out.
Have not had frost in a few weeks.
I also planted the garden all but the tomato.

 

[ValerieJ]

No frost here and seeds are planted. Always a big experiment around here, so we'll see what happens. Just need to soak the parsley seeds before planting, so they will get planted tomorrow.

I have clover and wheat seed to plant tonight in the chicken
yard.
keep waiting to see spouts from the seed I planted.
I do have a bale of shavings to cover the seed so
birds do not eat it.

Good score at the store today! This box of produce waste should last my hens for days.

That's great. Glad you made the trip well. Moving cross country takes a lot out of you for a few days.
