1 egg am-The morning is chilly, and the water had a layer of ice on it. Yesterday I noticed the bulb was broken, but forgot to switch it. Coop run looks great! The ground is starting to dry out and I am happy I took the time to get rid of the winter muck. Kale and organic baby spinach on the menu.

After getting excused from work, I went to the store and bought a “Rain suit” (Jacket and pants) Grabbed a bucket and my wheel barrow and a garden trowel, and headed up to the coop to clean. 2-1/2 hours later I got all the winter muck up from around the run area, but after testing decided to leave the mud under the coop, because as I dug, it went downhill, good/ bad thing. The more the slope the more water will build up, so I am going to wait till we figure out a drainage system on the exterior and then address the under coop mud issue. Took down the west side plastic, so that the spring sun could dry everything out.

The girls spent the day free-ranging and dirt bathing under the bushes. Happy chickens were purring and excited to be out and about.

I love the spring weather! Last night more rain, leaving the coop in a state of disrepair. I need a solution for the mud puddle. They girls are dirty and need a bath. But everyone is happy with the kale and baby spinach treats.

I SEE FOOD!

The other flock members 🙂

Boss called doesn’t need me at work, Flock free ranging enjoying the sunshine, and I am going to tackle the mud in the coop today yay!

2 eggs AM- After a fabulous day of sunshine, the clouds have moved back in. Things have started to melt but quite a bit of snow on the ground still. Bread as a treat.

Starting to feel like a broken record, another storm will dump 4-8 inches of wet icky snow on us tomorrow and Friday. Flock is happy and I let them free-range for over an hour yesterday and they enjoyed that alot.

4 Eggs AM- Flock is happy. Sourdough bread on the menu. Weather calm but cloudy.
