The sun is not up, the air is still touched with ice, no one elts is awake in our home JUST ME! Crap, our kids sleep in until 8 on weekends which is really nice, but will no longer be sleeping time for me. As we get more animals that are going to provide for our family I will have to get use to not sleeping in any more. Right now the only early morning hellos from me are to the chickens at 6:30 this morning as we do not have a timer for the light in the coop. This is the first morning sense we have had them, that they were able to find their own way out the door after I "opened" it. Really I move the barricade of stuff that I put in front of it so that nothing can get in. That is one of the many things I need to change for them and myself. I will be putting in some sort of lil door with a rope on a pulley so that I may open the door from inside the other half of the building they are in.
Another thing I must do is "Golden eye" and "Black Beard" are taking turn roosting on top of the nesting boxes and there is Pooooo all over the top. So I need to make it so they can't do that. As well as find a solution for the girls to be able to get into their boxes. I have seen many boxes without tops so I am thinking of removing the top! Hopefully that will help because as we are waiting for our first eggs, Golden Eye and one of the Barred Rocks look like they are very ready to give us what we want!
Sadly I am on a level of concern already. Our lil moulting Road Island seemed to have way to much to drink this morning! As I watched the girls find the door this morning they said to me "no no we got it today", our lil Red stumbled a bit, side to side and walking backwards when it looked like she wanted to go forward. Every time she went the wrong way I could have sworn I herd her say...."Damn it"..."Damn it"...."DAMN IT". Then it seemed she got her footing and out the door she went.
