You bend down to poop pick & someone hitches a free ride!

Contemplating her dismount….

This afternoon I dug up well rotted compost from my chicken run (#1) to use in my raised bed gardens.

The flock loves loosened soil.

Rahab investigates the removed soil just outside the door.

Adding it to the raised bed.

The last few days.
Had everything from hail and torrential rain to bright sunshine and blue skies over the last few days. It's still cold away from direct sunlight and windy but they've come out onto the field every day.
I've been generally busy. Got the new auto door opener working and today is the first day I've not gone to the field in the morning as well as the afternoon.

No hail here, just mini ice-cream.

Its a short video. But if I post it. It becomes a photo.

Had a massive weather system sweep through, lots of snow predicted....we got rain and this dusting. Then the temp plummeted. Yesterday morning: 10C (50F) just before dawn. This morning: -13.9C (7F).

Oooo, nice long-tailed purr chicken.

That weather's supposed to hit us in east Tennessee in about 14 hours. Just when you think the fruit trees are safe, March always throws a curveball.

Rain on and off. Cold in the wind with gusts of 35mph.

I think this is well worth reading.

This is an important reason for me why I don’t want rescues from factory farming and have no interests in buying high production breeds/laying hybrids.

Black. Expecting she will reach the age of 11 soon.
