They wouldn't last a minute in my coop of Delaware girls. I'm lucky to get out of there with my shirt on. They try to eat my jeans too.

I chased my brats around the outside of the barn a few times with they would escape the 'Roost Run'; finally was fed-up and brought them all back inside the barn, I have a 2pm videoconference - don't want to be distracted by chasing them down hahaha!

Your chickens are so pretty! We ate some bread today and oatmeal. They are free ranging right now!

My chickens are scratching their heads wondering what happened to me. I'm taking half day off. After all they took a break from laying.

Ma says I can't go trick or treating without my cane. I did gather eggs today and got 14 eggs out of the pullet coop with 15 pullets in it. I seen where it is recommended not to set eggs from pullets. A year old hens is the time to start. I don't believe it now. Those pullets of mine never laid pullet eggs. I've never seen that before and the thing is there mothers didn't lay very many. There mothers were just starting to lay good when I set the eggs they were hatched from. It was cool enough to night I didn't have to lecture any one about the dumpling pot to get them on the roost. We are under a freeze and fire warning.

I locked the girls up in their secure run a little before 6PM. Since it's been cold at night I started giving them a good sized cup of grain scratch late in the evening so there's plenty of food in their crops to help them keep warm through the night.

Tonight I also crushed up a bunch of eggshells and tossed them on the woodchips. They ate them up pretty fast.

I scattered 6-7 lbs of scratch between all the coops. They were like kids in a penny candy store with a dollar to spend.
