It took four big armfuls of pine branches to put a layer of pine over the chicken pen and the pen is now looking a lot nicer and the chickens seem to like being off the wet ground. It is raining now, I put the feed inside, and some of the hens are standing outside in the rain. I hope I don't have frozen chickens tomorrow. I think I will block the exit tonight after the hens go to bed so they will have to stay inside the coop tomorrow. Silly chickens.
What large thighs! The Orpington in the bottom photo looks so cute with her fluffy pantaloons.
First time I got a rash from pine I carried yesterday. I have read about people getting reactions. Or Kristine said maybe it is poison oak from the pine or Morgan. I think it was from the pine because the rash is going away already.
This is a lovely boring rainy day. I like days when nothing happens. I've had too many exciting days and even the best of them are wearing on a person after awhile.

I'm not doing too well with this puzzle. I think I will go back to reading.

I'm, afraid I didn't do very well with the Chicken Puzzle either. Too many moving parts!! Ohmygoodness that hen has HUGE thighs. Somebody's been eating very well.
Hope your rash is better soon.
LOL! You guys sound like the Big Bad Wolf.
"Why Little Hen, what big things you have!?"
Diana: Sorry about the puzzle. I went back for another try and finally to my surprise finished it.
I like the hen house in the picture!
Kristine: My dear daughter has informed me that she was half asleep when she wrote that and she meant to write Little Red Riding Hood and thighs not things. Get some sleep, kiddo! LOL
Reading on rainy days is what I love doing too. I love the hen's pantaloons.
The pine is an interesting idea to put in the run. I would have never thought of it. We've been using straw which gets muddy and heavy. It's a workout for sure mucking out the chicken run!
Your Orph does have pretty pantaloons!
Wow. That puzzle was much harder than it looked. I knew where the pieces needed to go. But I couldn't get them there. Have a great week.

I hope the rash is all better.
Why I just played with that puzzle when I have dishes to wash and blogs to read and e-mails to answer and sewing to do, I don't know... It was fun!
