Road Kill Pumpkin


The grand kids were here today and the youngest one got to collect the eggs today on different trips out to the coop. They were so excited about it they called their dad to tell him about it.

I cooked up a large squash I grew in the garden last summer got three gallons from it. We got a couple of pumpkins from the road side in Nov. and gave them to the chickens the last of that is gone and we have some seedy grapes not very tasty to use but the chickens love them and reject pancakes the grands don't want!

Two eggs today beige ones. [Not the green ones this week; we only got one of the green ones from the Easter Eggers.]

The barred rocks seem to be getting back in to production. We have enjoyed the first of the boiled eggs for breakfast and in tuna salad sandwiches in our meals this week.

Hubby said that the rooster's days are numbered he has been pecking the hens he has been limping also.

Hubby got the chicken door hinges and the latch on the inside of the main coop door. They were milling around the run and using the outside nest boxes for warmth. As soon as we finished up with this and cleared tools out and and put the roost ladder back up they lined up and piled in to the coop.  We still need to get the knob on the chicken door maybe tomorrow.
