One Egg Nest....

Just a little Chicken update: I went to clean the chicken house today and let them out of their play yard to run around a little bit....I took them out some sunflower seeds and they gobbled them up! I went in the house to get the camera and they followed me...I knew I better come back out with a treat so I grabbed some spinach leaves.....
which I sprinkled around on the grass...they checked them out and then...

they came at me!....The one in front said "hey! you gotta be kidding me! Spinach?"...they wanted some more of those good seeds! The spinach leaves stayed there all day....untouched...

this is why I went to get the camera, to show you this....there are 6 perfect boxes for laying eggs in...and they have made a nest underneath in one corner and they all lay eggs there....I picture them all waiting in line for their turn in the 'one egg nest'...

Cheers to Happy  !!

    You can't second guess a chicken, I guess. I love all the different colors of eggs in that corner. Chickens definitely have personalities, and their own agendas!! :)

    That is so funny about the spinach leaves. You have them way too spoiled! Sunflower seeds and blueberries? I am trying to remember the things Gramma's chickens got thrown to them. Nothing that gourmet, for sure. :)
