warm weather behavior changes

I love the new tool rack in the coop! It's both handy and tidy. Six eggs today, although two broke on me. Egg drop soup? The warm weather seems to bring out lots of on-lookers. That part was great. Their wandering into the coop without warning made me a little nervous. I made sure parents were there supervising and talked to everybody about keeping the gate closed, and did my best to educate everybody about what we're doing. It was pretty fun. A down side to the warm weather (if there is a down side) is that the ladies do not want to go to bed. I waited until 5:30, but had things to do tonight, so I couldn't wait longer. If you can, you may want to head over at dusk, when there's enough light to see what you're doing, but the ladies have decided to go to bed on their own. Just a thought. I'm sure going to miss chicken Wednesdays for the next couple of months. If you need a fill in, give me a call. - Amy A.
