The days are getting longer, even though it’s still freezing and we have 2 feet of snow on the ground. 4 out of 5 of my hens laid today. One of them apparently needs to work on getting back into practice.

What ya got there, Cookie?
The cats eat the chicken food. The chickens eat the cat food. The cats sleep in nesting boxes. Maybe the chickens will start hunting mice?
Wait just a minute, here!
I don’t have a black hen!
Trouble and Squeaky
These two kittens have basically taken over Ruby’s nesting spot and made it into a bed. The hens aren’t laying much now that we are well into winter. However, I can foresee issues if the kittens are napping and Ruby needs to lay an egg.
Missing Scarlet
It is still so weird to me to see only 5 hens lined up on the roost at night.
One of these hens is not like the others….
One of these “hens” is Cookie the kitten stealing chicken treats! (I mixed their wet mash with yogurt tonight.)
Please don’t eat me, chickens
Every day when I am getting the chicken food ready I am reminded that birds are descended from dinosaurs!
Scarlet and Ruby
Giving me the evil eye.
