The chickens and turkeys all like to sit under and around this bush. Hopefully in the spring and summer they will find a new spot. Otherwise, this will get stinky and sticky quickly! :p

Looks like the shortest day of the year is the 21st, so we should be seeing more sunshine soon! Yay! I wish I could predict the sun's patterns for my property, so I can plan my garden bed placement better. Any idea how to tell where the strongest light will be in the summer months? Anybody? I think I know where the best placement will be, but I want to make sure before I build raised beds and start moving all that soil! Speaking of which, will have to find some cheap soil too... So much to do! It's wonderful!

The shortest day is the winter solstice, 12/21, but the sunrises are happening later each day all the way into January, whereas the sunsets have already peaked at their earliest and are actually already happening later now that they were next week. Here is the website I use to track this: http://sunrise-sunset.org

So even though the days are still getting shorter for the next week, the time I have until sunset is getting a few seconds longer each day now.

They're all looking great! I wouldn't worry too much about the bush...They're fertilizing it for you ;)

Interesting! I never knew the sunrise and sunset change that way. It's good to know.

It's got us worried that we've been "discovered". No more leaving leftovers in the coop overnight. We'll keep them and hand them out during the day instead.

No eggs today after experiencing the rush of our first blue egg on Sunday, then a Buff Orpington egg on Monday and Tuesday. Our BCM made an enormous amount of noise in one of the nesting boxes this morning then emerged without laying. Our Super Blue Egg Layer and Buff Orp are so quiet when they lay in comparison to this Marans. She really lets the whole area know something is going on in cloaca-ville!

We have 18 supermarket eggs left in the fridge and 2 BO eggs on the counter. Not sure if this is going to. E the last bought box of eggs or not. We might have to rely on "Big Egg" a little bit longer.

Do you guys save up a buffer of eggs to eat during non-Winter / non-moulting periods? Or do you take the walk of shame back to the supermarket and resign yourselves to handing over hard earned cash to "Big Egg" in times of egg-drought?
