In my flock that means BROODY!

That's what I was afraid of, tho she really wan't exhibiting any 'symptoms'.
She was on the roost tonight and left an egg in the nest.
She's just come back into lay, can tell by her unique egg, so maybe just a start up glitch.

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.
It's the last chilly morning before the warm up!

Good morning, Cafe', coffee is brewed. @DobieLover - glad that you had a good evening. The Princess and I went out to celebrate her birthday so Maggie was crated while we were gone. When we got home she was understandably wired big time - racing, playing and carrying on. In one of her jumps (she can jump 4' up from a standstill) she inadvertently came down on my right fore arm. I was only wearing a T shirt instead of my usual henley and she gashed across the entire top of my fore arm. Friable old man skin and low clotting factor resulted in a bit of bleeding - blood freaks the Princess, but all is good. I am/always have been a quick healer and arm is fine - just another dog scar. My hands are covered with little scars from puppy teeth and toenails.

Oooo! 60's!!! Lucky you. We have one day this week where it will peak just over 60. I'm supposed to work that day but I think I'll swizzle my schedule around so I will be home then instead. As long as Nan is able to accommodate me.

...and let the mud season begin!

Good morning cafe. Thanks for the coffee DL and glad that things went well.

Tuesday -Friday temps are supposed to top out in the 60's - snow will go, only to be replaced with clay/mud. To a certain degree I prefer the snow.

To a certain degree I prefer the snow.

I completely agree.
One year the mud was so bad on the path to the coop that I laid down a layer of wood chips. Just like in the run, it worked great. It all decomposed and has become part of the soil since then. I'm getting another load tomorrow and doing it again.
This fall I'm installing a loose lay full color flagstone walkway to connect the stairs off the deck, mudroom, down to the garage walkway and out to the coop and run doors.
