Yet Another Weird Nest From The Past...

Found a couple more pics I thought I'd share....

Hello not-quite-empty bucket, what is that peeking out of the top?  What could possibly be lurking within?

Oh...a Very Large Chicken!

To be fair, we hadn't had Gloria very long and she hadn't quite gotten the hang of using real nests yet.

Fun With Snow!

We had ourselves quite the little snowstorm the other night, it gave us a few inches for the kid to play in, and was the type that stuck to everything.

 

Including the chicken coop & run, the poultry awoke to find themselves suddenly unable to see outside the run and were freaked out.

But Gloria the Brinkotter hen lost no time is snarfing down beakfuls of the stuff...

J. was clearing snow off the roof of the small run and learned why you do this from the side, rather than standing directly under it.

And the kid made a snowman for the back porch.

Love his 'Meh, I'm a snowman. Gotta pinecone on muh haid.' face.

Chickens...

Today was hot, so I turned the sprinkler on out in the yard for the chickens.

"Mud, you say? No...I haven't seen any mud."

"It's a bird! It's a plane! It's..." It's me, dangling a tidbit over their heads.

Smokey in mid head shake...

And Moet, our Frizzle Cochin, from the back looking like a firework chrysanthemum. You can really see the white tips of her feathers here.
