Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

[mortie]

Went out at 7:30 and most of the snow from the run is gone (go figure, I spread out straw to help with the snow problem and then it melts) and the girls were all out checking the place out. Scratching around, being chickens. It's been a while so that was nice. I went without my sweatshirt...I usually just wear a hoodie in the winter, even when it's way below zero and it wasn't even cold. It's probably 33 or 34 degrees. Above freezing so that's nice. I collected one egg, Penny's. Served pie. Now I'm ready for my nap.

Okay so I wrote this post once but then the blooming IPad crashed and reloaded the page :/
Oh well
It's time for an update since I have been away for a few days visiting my dad. It had snowed since and the girls were not pleased!

Zazzles was the first to great me but because she hasn't been able to dust bathe recently she looks quite dirty.

Babs was second to say hello, my little soldier was intent on eating my hair so I couldn't get a good photo. She rewarded me with a lovely brown torpedo shaped egg which was so much nicer than the corrugated and thin shelled eggs she has been doing recently.

My Spitzhauben Peggy wasn't keen on the camera so only with the help of zoom could I get a decent pic. According to the breeder she should be 34 weeks now but I have received no treasures from her yet. However she does have very soft feathers!

This is the only photo I could get of camera shy Selma, after not seeing her for a few days I was pleasantly surprised suprised because her comb has gone a dark pink, soon!
For those wondering the are in a run surrounded by an electric fence.

It snowed yesterday but it rained this morning. The snow is melting fast.

I am making a veggie platter for the game and I need to get the house kinda cleaned before we go to SIL house.

MAY THE BEST TEAM WIN.

Did you know? Put a bulb of garlic in a glass jar, and put the lid on. Shake the heck out of it, and eventually the cloves will all come out of their skin.

I did not know that.

Ming, your chickens are adorable.
