Awwww, that was so adorable watching Lucky dart in and out trying to steal a piece!

Gosh, that really was adorable. It's not easy being a weaned chick.

Is Hattie thinking of laying, too?

No sign of that yet.

I am also in Canada, it's -28C here this morning. I am lucky because my husband is retired and so he checks for eggs.
Until recently no one was laying, but Louise gifted us with an egg on Boxing Day and Clara joined in yesterday, so I now have two laying.
I have got a camera installed in my coop which helps to keep track of whether someone is occupying a nestbox.
The egg Louise laid froze because we were not expecting her to start laying again so soon. I should have been more on the ball because she had started squatting again. I cooked up that first frozen and cracked egg once it had melted and fed it back to the hens. They approved of that warm addition to their breakfast!

I bet they enjoyed it! My gals have been laying, I guest because they are housed within the barn and we have lighting in there for doing chores etc.

It generally stays around the freezing point once it gets below -20C, but I guess I had my water jugs on the ground over night. Will bring them in the feedroom tonight

But still need to check every couple hrs for eggs..... Need to bribe someone here to go out and do that!

BLU, was a Polish roo. (My avatar pic) rip BLU.

Awwww I need to check out these polish chickies.

Right now I have been collaborating with my mother on making a saddle for my silkie Fluffy, Pangoo is too rough on her and she is getting bald on her back. We shall see how saddling her up goes

It's got to be better than crazy young horses right???

I had forgotten that. Adorable! I also forgot how 'leggy' those two are!

Here is Madam Fluffy McNugget sporting an ensemble of blue flowered denim which can be paired with an over the shoulder throw.

Well @Bob, I checked out this polish chicken breed, and have to say looks like a very interesting breed, will have to check for any breeders in the area in the Spring.

What are you thinking? Polish are a crazy breed of chicken.(and insanity is contagious)

I have always wondered, because I live in the country, does that mean everything I cook is “country cooking”?
(It’s an honest question)

I wouldn't say the burgers and pizzas are very country
