First Friday

My first day on the job started off with serious resistance from my two little helpers.  I prodded the two foot-draggers (Eli and Ian) into the coop, where they waited reluctantly while I prepared everything before opening the roost.  Their low-key whining turned into screams of abject terror when the chickens came pouring out.

But after they realized this wasn't a Hitchcock movie, their horror quickly melted into delight.  In the end, the boys had a hard time tearing themselves away from the chickens.

We found five eggs today.  I guess the girls were ready for some late-night Friday partying because 5:45 pm was too early for them to go into the roost on their own.  I had to put each one in one-by-one.

Looking forward to next Friday.

  1. Sam has enjoyed finding the eggs the most, though he's become quite the chicken wrangler. Thanks so much for investigating new acquisitions today!
