The Girls

I took some pictures of the girls today. They were acting crazy. The picture to the left is Poppy going after Sally (the black puff in the left corner). Sally stays the nesting box all day and Poppy really doesn't like it at all. I had to clean dried poop off of Sally because she just won't move. I felt embarrassed for her. Here is a photo of Sally in the nesting box.

Turbo has not been laying eggs because she is molting aka working on new feathers. Doing this take up a lot of the hens energy. Plus, I think it makes her act crazy. She has been much louder and runs in and out of the coop. It is supposed to rain her tonight. I hope it does. The garden needs rain and I would love for it to wash some of the pollen away.

  1. The girls look good and I like the sand box she looks happy to be used again. My garden is definitely behind yours but will go into planting mode when I get back. I will be bringing over the heirloom tomato plants on the 16th, if you need anything else let me know and I will ask Rebecca if she has it.
