...Another Beautiful Winter Mornin...
Yesterday we were out and stopped in the feed store to get some hay for the coops, they really needed cleaned out... NASTY! I usually just use the wood shavings but decided on hay this time and the animals like scratchin in it.
...Our Little hen House/Duck Hut...Nobodies layin me any eggs in this coop yet. I'll be so excited when I find my first duck egg hopefully this spring!

Jinx is so funny, I love when hes scratches on the glass to come in or go out of the house.
Ughh the dreaded coop cleanin day. Me and the youngest did that chore last weekend. I was pretty sore the next day from all the shoveling. Its a great workout though ; )
ReplyDeleteIt was bad! Glad honey helped me, the load of poo were frozen to the floor. I am sore today too, lol
ReplyDeleteWhat great stuff for the compost pile!
ReplyDeleteWow, can I come for a visit? I'd love to learn more about chickens!

Veggie PAK: Your right and we do put it in our compost bin :)
ReplyDeletefloweringmama: Chickens are so fun to learn about, I love when I'm able to sit and just watch them :)
Your coop looks great! I'm champin at the bit to order my chicks, but it's just so cold right now and they do better when I order them when it's a little warmer. They do love that hay and straw to scratch around in don't they?
ReplyDeleteYour coops look so fresh and clean--good for you :) You haven’t had any duck eggs yet? You will get them and they will be nice and big and rich. Your chickens are always so pretty and full. Love chicken pics :)
ReplyDeleteThank You Goodwife: Yes they do. Cant wait to see your chickies when you get them!
ReplyDeleteThank You Verde Farm: I was going to wait til it warmed up to clean them out but they were just way to bad to wait, I was ashamed of how dirty they were! Nope, no duck eggs, I'm guessin that my ducks will be 1 year old around June/July, so I'm guessin I'll get my 1st egg this spring? Unless they are layin in the woods, I pray not!
Seeing your coup makes me wish I had used straw instead of pinechips for bedding and nest material. It looks so much more invitingly country :)
ReplyDeleteI just did the cleaning thing too. Yuk.
ReplyDeleteSunny: I usually use the wood chips too but this time decided to use straw and I do love how it looks, nice and cozy for the chickens :)
