Book worms?

I am sure the hens have been reading my book again. In particular - Chapter 7 'Cosy coop' page 61. They refused to come out this morning for their breakfast, I was getting quite worried. Then as soon as I spread a carpet of warm shavings on the floor, they emerged immediately.

Little madams! I shall have to review their library.

A little visitor

The girls had a little visiter to their coop this morning. The snow has been quite heavy here this morning and I had a hard job to tempt them out to eat their breakfast, but when I dished out warm milk and pasta they soon responded. The poor little robin was flying around like a mad thing and made a quick exit when I opened the door.

The snow even got inside some parts of the coop but I have since recyled some old shower curtains and covered their pen, so hopefully they can stay snug and warm.

Quite unlike myself who foolishly ventured out this morning and had to turn back from going to work, still I am sure I will use my time in a useful sort of way!
