I'm consistently getting four eggs daily.

Time to up my pickling...

SNOW AND ICE?!?

Yesterday it was 70 in the morning. A tornado in the evening... and snow flurries today. In a few days it's supposed to be 8f at night

8 inches plus today, and the forecast is for 1 to 3 ft on Sunday. Yes, feet.

Lois was in the nesting box after dark. Yep, gone broody. She's about 8 months old.

I put her up on the roost. I may let her sit on eggs if she's persistent.

This afternoon I dug up well rotted compost from my chicken run (#1) to use in my raised bed gardens.

First I dumped the "hot" litter in an area where I want to smother shrub stumps, prepare for planting later this year.

Then I started digging, throwing the soil outside the run, on an old shower curtain liner.

That method avoids putting weight on the door sill.

The flock loves loosened soil.

Rahab investigates the removed soil just outside the door.

Adding the soil to the raised bed.
