Look Ma, Feathers!

We want out! Now!

The hens were making lots of noise when I went out to give them some lettuce and cantaloupe. About half of the hens were out in the pen walking around on the wet ground and acting like they were confused about the mud. They weren't scratching and they wanted out. Tomorrow. Tomorrow they can go out in the woods, but they have had to stay inside yesterday and today, because I don't want to let Morgan out in the rain. The chickens are fine in the rain, but poor Morgan gets too wet and dirty.

The middle photo is of Orp-Roo (in the front) and shows that she has grown her feathers back in finally. I found the duct tape in the pen the other day and knew her saddle had come off, but didn't spot which Orpington was Orp-Roo until today. She is much improved. When I put the duct tape on her she didn't have any feathers on her back and her wings were bare at the shoulder too. Now she is fluffy.

All the green on the ground has been blown there by the storm along with other stuff out of the trees. I can start my raking campaign tomorrow. I'll rake a few hours every day. That's the plan.

I got the drawer fronts on the cabinets! I'll paint as soon as it is warm enough to open the windows.

[no eggs as of 6 pm]

I think the chickens are mad at me

for locking them up.
