Hens and Hay
by Seasonsgirl
We put new hay in the coop the other day… Our girls go crazy for new hay in their coop… This white one kept looking at me like “thanks lady for the hay”… I sat down in the hay with them for a while… Some of them dig down though the hay and all you see is tails in the air 😉 This was … Read More Hens and Hay
Coop Cleaning…
by Seasonsgirl
Last week we finally got a nice enough day to clean out the chicken coop. This means we rake, shovel, and scrape out all the old hay, shavings, dirt, and whatever else is in there. In it’s place we disinfect ( in a way that doesn’t hurt the chickens) and while that is setting in we clean out and spray down the boxes and get anything … Read More Coop Cleaning…
Snow… Snow.. Snow… Cold
by Seasonsgirl
The snow came down the other day. I was so happy to be inside (not happy to be sick, but grateful I didn’t have to go outside). The neighbors barn was barley visible in the snow. Our tractors were hard to see as well until the snow slowed down… It was a pretty snow and the coop roof was covered in a matter of … Read More Snow… Snow.. Snow… Cold

The sun came out :)
by Seasonsgirl
The sun was out in full force today. It was such a beautiful day I was so eager to get home and into the yard. The dogs spent the day laying in the sun and playing. The chickens were all over the yard and sunning themselves. Hubby spent time mowing the grass and weed eating. I spent time in the garden, cleaning … Read More The sun came out 🙂
Chicken coop, dogs, and life…
by Seasonsgirl
Today was the first nice day I had to be outside and work. The chicken house got a cleaning and I finished the new boxes for “the girls” (my Dad was helpful in this process as he had a lot of good ideas). “The Girls” ran around like crazy enjoying the bugs and other goodies that they could get now that the rain had … Read More Chicken coop, dogs, and life…
A new coop…
by Seasonsgirl
I have been so busy since coming back from vacation. Today we spent most of the day building a new nesting place for our chickens (I’ll try to get a picture when we are done). Their old one is getting too small and since the new birds have started laying they need more room. We are extending their old coop to give them more … Read More A new coop…
