The adventures of Barbara (BR)

DH always says "manna from heaven" whenever it's raining treats on the dog. It's cute.


Poor Doody. That's the way the cookie crumbled I guess

Coop Cleaning Day

The Cleaning People came out today and let the chickens out to play while the coop was being cleaned. Everyone went out except for Barbara. She was in her egg laying trance and did not want to move, so the Cleaning People worked around her. Pretty soon the nest boxes needed cleaning out, so Barbara got up, muttering under her breath and went outside. She kept coming in and out of the coop, complaining. Those People were so SLOW!

She checked and her box was open but there wasn’t any bedding it it. She went in and sat down, but she was getting wire marks on her Big Butt, so she came out and sassed them again. The Cleaning Lady went and got enough straw to put in two nest boxes, in case Barbara changed her little chicken mind. Barbara smiled. All was right with the world. HER nest box was nice and soft and clean. A few minutes later she sang her egg song and produced a beautiful brown egg. The trouble people put you through to get your job done!

Barbara went out to play with Buffy and Leroy. Bob made an attempt to romance her, but she gave him the stink eye and he went back to his silly Ameraucana girls. It was dark and drizzly out but it wasn’t all that cold and there were lots of places to investigate. The Cleaning People cleaned out all the coops and put fresh bedding in them.

The girls went over to a broken bale of straw by the Sussex coop and had a party, throwing and scratching new straw all over the driveway. It was their job, and they were excellent at it. The Sussex babies were very intrigued by the big girls and one of the little roos tried crowing at them. He sounded like to an old car horn. The Cleaning People laughed at him. Chickens are such fun!
