Yes, I'm pretty sure that egg comes from my Salmon Faverolles...I stopped getting them when she went broody...so it's my best guess! I love it, it's so pretty, it also has a little bit of a shine to it!

Fall is here! It's raining leaves in my yard today, all it takes is a little wind and my lawn & deck will be covered with leaves! I love our tree's and the protection they give us from the wind, but boy do they make a mess of my yard... at least it makes for good compost material!

How lovely. Rake it all up for the girls. They'll love it!

A lot of it will go onto the floor of the coop! I'm sure they will be scratching through it!

Today is a video day! I'm enjoying my flock and the last of our warm weather...it's supposed to hit 69 today...it's still windy, but not cold! I went out for a cruise around the chicken pen and everyone had to follow...even the big boys...many of them right under my feet! Sorry if I made anyone dizzy by swinging the camera around, I wanted to get them all in there and I wasn't panning as slow as I thought I was...lol!
Also an update on the roosters, I believe Maximus has taken over as head rooster...my husband said he saw him chase Roo 2 all of the way to the far end of the pen the other day and I saw him put the run on him today! This is what I thought would happen.

I do love the look of leaves falling but I know exactly what you mean! We have giant trees and it is really hard work to get them all picked up every year! At least now I don’t have to burn them.. I just give them to the gals....
