Oooo a Larry twin

Ahhh are they grooming each other ?

My run is a cluttered mess. I keep a lane clear down the center for me, from the run door to the coop door. If I need to/have to get something out at the sides, I have stuff to step over, around, between.

Not to worry, my barn is like that, with ongoing renovations in there I move stuff along as I finish something. But then I have to climb over stacked lumber to check for eggs because I am sure they hide them everywhere!

Morinth is squatting now!
She's the silkie with the big poof, I wonder what color her eggs will be?

I'm hoping they'll be white or cream, since Samara has such a lovely brown.

I am interested to see what colour she lays also ! She has such lovely feather colouring.

Wow! Those were beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

And of course your chooks as always are splendid

I was wondering where you had got to haven’t seen you in a bit.

I am a couple days behind so I have to go back and catch up from roughly Saturday afternoon. First though I want to show you this picture I took yesterday evening. View attachment 3732770
That right there friends is all the eggs that have been laid since last Wednesday. 3 Rocks and 2 suspects. If they do not lay today and so far no one has the Leghorns will have been shut down for a week exactly. This cold and snow snap also completely shut down Blueberry who has been in production since last December after she was done raising her only brood of chicks. I want another week at least with no leghorn or Blueberry eggs, I doubt I will get it. Jumped from 30F yesterday to 60F in 24 hours and the snow is melting fast. Please girls, your health is more important then eggs, take advantage of this and hold off a few more days. Thanks to your overachievement I still have 4 dozen eggs that need used up before you come back online.

I am so glad they have take a wee break, and I am praying they don’t start back up for a couple weeks.

Also I am a bit jealous of your 60F temp but I can’t complain it’s -2C and calling for a high of 5C and rain next few days.

Maybe get the chooks outside Saturday if it melts the snow away! I think tonight I will shovel a path along the run so that the grass will show through and help the rain melt the snow.

Even the horses are frisky with this milder weather.

It’s a cold rain outside. Sir Jaffar’s comb and feets are sooo cold. I brought him inside to get him warmed up.

Rain always make it seem even colder. What’s the temp there?

Dirt everyone, I can see dirt. Ok, well, mud, but it is brown so I will take it. The flock are currently enjoying leftovers from last night in their favorite scrap spot. The pasta noodles did not last long. Now everyone is fighting over their next favorite thing. Some may want to cover your ears for this one. Cannibals, they love and will fight over chicken scraps. Another thing to point out, Berthie is recovered just in time from her New Years Eve party with Phyllis and had enough feathers regrown in time to stay warm last week. She is the Queen sister with the black hackles.

He’s quite comfortable now. He’s asleep in my lap.
