Never seen so little snow this time of year!

 I’m putting these here so in other years where it gets a bit thin we can remember how much worse it could be!

Now there are two!

 I suppose they are eating worms, they have made a right old mess!

First Silkie Egg

First Silkie has laid an egg. I suspect it was the middle one of the white ones as she squats for the rooster (dark one on the left).

They are small chickens, so a diddy little egg.

She laid it in the mud at the edge of the run. I am hoping she will get the idea and lay the next one in the nest box. I added a few more fake eggs to give her the idea. One of them has been digging around in the nest boxes and throwing all the eggs out (there are 2 legbar in this run already laying) for a few days, so I have been wondering if one if them might be thinking about starting laying. So exciting!

More snow needed!

It’s been lovely sunny weather for a few days, and before that a lot of rain. Both of which have been hard on the snow cover. Pretty, but we need more snow!

Here is Poppy doing her best snow dance…
