Buster didn't want to come with me to the coop, But I insisted he come along. He does like playing in the snow....Here he is waiting for me to open the gate to the back yard. We found our car almost buried out front. When we got to the back yard, it looked so pretty although the snow was deep. These are my tracks in about 9 inches of white powdery snow....
We made it to the coop.... and look how warm these girls are. The coop is dry and a bit of sunshine is coming through the doorway from their yard. As you can see I disturbed Blondie as she was tucked behind the burlap curtain....to gather these two eggs.
They have been laying very well the past two weeks..even as the temperature dropped below freezing, I have been using a couple eggs a day and still have plenty for holiday baking. Some of these I will share with my sister in law tomorrow when we travel to Woodburn for Thanksgiving . The Chickens will be cared for by our neighbor and they will gather the eggs. It really is nice to have good neighbors who are willing to watch things when we are gone.
I have bread dough rising and Buster is playing out in the snow.. Doesn't he look like he is having fun? For now, I best stop here and take a look to see if it's time to make the first punch down.... and pour myself a cup of hot tea....
