Welcome 2010! There’s a bit of light snow falling this morning, but the temps are mild – 20’s. Our goal today is to finish the upgrade to the winter chicken coop. We want to move the hens before we have to shovel our way through a big storm to their current home in the summer coop. All we have to do is close up a few holes in the corners to “critter-proof” the coop. Weasels can get in through an amazingly small hole!
Our 15 hens are now laying and we’re getting at least 7-8 eggs each day. Some are still small, but the Golden Comets (the hens that supposedly mature early) already have super jumbo eggs! I love gathering warm eggs from the coop!
