Rain

We have rain here well it's more of a drizzle I can tell that it has been raining because of the puddles we saw along side the road when we came home this morning 39-44* today's temps. range and for most of the week and quite a bit of rain. The grand kids helped with the chores, chickens light is on and next up will be getting the morning eggs, giving them some scratch and letting them out to range in the back yard mid morning. I might be raking up some leaves and doing some clean up. After the rain stopped and I got busy and cleaned the coop now that the temps. are above freezing it's nice to get outside. I removed the temporary roost for the cold snap we had put inside the coop, now it will be SO much easier to gather eggs and clean nest boxes out now.

Yesterday while we were out doing chicken chores hubby left a message he bought a turkey and to remind him to take it out of the back of the truck, dear grand son and I were excited to see if it was a live one or not, it was not. We put it in the freezer. One of the guys at work did not need the one he got for turkey day, hubby likes to smoke them on the grill.

I still have a spot in the fence to chicken proof and after doing that taa - daa no more escaping hens! Yea! We got five eggs today three large one and two pullet eggs.
