The best part of my work day so far (WFH alone today) has been going out to feed their #Chookesties and see that our Baby (mini wyandotte) has laid an egg after months of being on strike.
And also enjoying all the bulbs peeking out and so many crocuses filling the garden with color.

We haven't had really cold winters. Last winter our second hand water container for their #Chookesties did freeze and crack (but it had been abused much). This year it seems we're having a few days in a row of freezing temps, so we're bringing the water in at night to prevent that.
I think we will be ordering once of these insulated water thingies tho: https://www.omlet.nl/kippenwaterbakken/ge%C3%AFsoleerde-waterbak-voor-kippen/ and hope the girls get used to the nipples instead of gravity water feed.
Someone ran out of toner today. Middle egg should be about the same color as the darker one.

Baby of the famous #Chookesties of #Chookingham is back in #BroodyJail
It seems that any time the temperatures go too much up, she gets #Broody
#Chookesties update
Baby was released from #BroodyJail yesterday and seems to be back to normal.

So, summer time started today.
I am feeling ok, not much trouble with it.
Bonnie, one of our hens, however, got super confused and was standing on the stairs to the coop in front of a closed door when I went out to close their feeder...

It's been a while since these gals featured here.
They're not really amused by the weather. They only came out of their covered run after they saw me (which means they get some scratch feed and bugs).

Put down some wood chips/mulch in the uncovered part of the chicken run, because it's all mud these days.
They're having a field day finding stuff!
Happy to report that miss broody Baby is no longer broody, so we could let her back into the flock.
Which also means Betty and Bonnie are making it into the coop on time before the door auto closes. Since Baby is the night time alarm clock of the family.
