I let the chickens out this morning like I always do. We had some extra kitchen scraps so I brought them out to the chickens. They really like kitchen scraps and went all over them immediately. Eleven of our thirteen chickens were hanging out around them.

Right after opening the door the chickens come running out. They must hear me in the distance as I approach their dwelling because they need to jump off their roosts before going outside.

Compost eating in progress.

It rained a ton last night. The coop run got soaked. There is a plastic roof over the run but this is still the result. It must have been pretty windy.

This chicken's life goal is to MAKE THE SANDBOX GREAT AGAIN!!! And to drink up all of the water...

Compost eating still in progress. Do I need to explain?

Is it me or the camera that you are running away from?

Less Eggs And Chicken Update

These are the chickens drinking.

 

Our three white egg layers with the green egg layer.

 

Lately we have been getting about 7-9 eggs a day but now it is getting colder and we are getting less. Currently we are getting from 4-7 eggs a day. The colder it is the less eggs we get.

This is their favorite spot to lay the eggs. It is right next to the roost and sometimes you can not reach the eggs. As you see it is empty.

One of the tasty eggs in one of the boxes. YAY! That other thing is a fake egg. We need to wash it.

This is the high tech feeder that we use to keep the food from getting dirty. They stick their head into a pipe to eat the food. It is not a big stretch but it is great for keeping the food very clean and healthy.

Here are the eggs. I have three of each color.

This is one of our chickens in the nest box. We still are getting some eggs so it is not uncommon to see them in there. You can barely see the edge of a white egg underneath her. The chicken that is photobombing is named Princess.
