| The hen house, empty until I come in to take this photo. |
This morning was cool and bright. The girls were waiting at the door to the run and in what is becoming routine Kitty, Fanny, Elinor and Emma waited for me to pet them before going into the yard. Harriet and Lydia look on with some interest but hang back. I usually only have a few minutes in the morning to feed up and give them fresh water, but today starts a week off for me and I was able to hang out with them for a few hours. They grazed and I read....except for Fanny flying up on the gate and having to be redirected it was blissfully peaceful.

They followed me in, no doubt wondering why I was going in their space and if I had a treat for them.

| Morning snack time. |

Nesting boxes are ready, but no eggs so far. The small hanging feeder has crushed oyster shells to help make the egg shells strong- the eggs that could show up anytime now from the comets.

The round thing hanging down is a head of cabbage. Yes, they get to play with their food!
Sometimes its like watching a kindergarten tether ball game. |
