Busy, busy week here in Suffield, Connecticut. Lots of sunshine and balmy temperatures provided ideal conditions for doing spring clean up and yard work that the chickens were happy to help with. Please enjoy the photos!
Our annual truckload of mulch was delivered this week and the chickens did their part to help spread it into place- and then kicked it out of place.
A little strategically placed hardware cloth underneath preferred dust bathing locations (theirs, not mine!) seems to be redirecting the chickens’ digging activities.
One of my “little” brothers visited this week with my niece to pick up his annual load of custom-made chicken manure for his garden.

There are currently three broody hens in the flock. The hens who have proven to be good mothers will be given fertile eggs to hatch.
Mr. Chicken Chick installed the mailbox he made for me in February for my birthday. I love it and it’s a nice clean spot to set down the egg basket while puttering around the chicken yard.

I so enjoyed your photos and I added your mailbox idea to my birthday list! 🙂 My coop is almost done and I'm getting my first chicks mid May. I just happen to need a waterer. 😉 Thanks for the opportunity.

My girls are about ready to move to the outside coop. This waterer would be perfect for their new home.
