Fowl Play

These past weeks, the chickens have been giving us fewer and fewer eggs.  I’m told that this is pretty normal because of the colder weather we’re having.

I opened up the coop a week ago to make sure things were all right.

Yesterday, there were two eggs in the nesting boxes, and I decided to check the inside of the coop again.  And found two nests:

Those stinkers!  They were hoarding!!  I found 27 eggs in all.

Back at the house, I figured I’d better crack and separate them, to make sure they were still good.

… and then I served them their crushed eggshells with oatmeal.

All right, girls – go lay me another couple dozen.

LET’S AIM FOR THE NESTS THIS TIME!!!
