They headed for home without me having to call them.
Now my three hens are safely locked inside for the night.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Spring chickens
The day was lovely, but my three hens took their time walking out their roost door.
Eventually, they ventured across the yard and ended up under their favorite bush.
From this point on, I will open the door each afternoon for these three hens. Hopefully, nothing bad will befall them.
They need some freedom, but things do happen.
Fingers crossed no invader comes for a chicken dinner.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Tractor Supply chirps
Walk into the store and you’ll immediately hear them. The chicks and ducklings are for sale.
Just hearing their chirps made my day.
I stopped at Tractor Supply because I needed wild-bird seed and suet blocks. Also, I wanted a 50-pound bag of chicken layer crumbles. Of course, I couldn’t lift the large bag after my operation. That problem was easily solved. All I had to do was ask and the clerk got the bag, checked me out, and delivered everything to my car.
Too bad I couldn’t bring a few chicks home. Just taking care of my 3 hens is enough trouble for me these days.

Egg extravaganza!
Some people believe you get an egg a day from a chicken. Some months, especially in winter, my hens take a vacation from egg production.
Spring has arrived here on Sunnybook Farm! Here’s an account of the first three eggs of the laying season.
I’m hoping that my other two hens start getting on their nests, too. This green egg is from Red. I know because I saw her get out of the nest. Her eggs are green-colored eggs. Red is an Araucana chicken.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

A little treat
I brought out some bread as a treat for my three hens.
Their pen isn’t much, but they seem to do well enough.
We’re all looking forward to spring when things green up and everyone can go outside again.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
