Sunny Day Fun


After several days of grey gloominess and wintery temperatures,
the sun peeked through the clouds yesterday and temperatures rose to above 60 degrees.


The chickens were in heaven and found a "spa" in which to spend their day...


dry ground for dust baths has become a rare commodity these days!

I often get comments about how lovely my chickens are.
How about this girl....


Ivanka, the Transylvanian naked neck chicken!
(Yes, she's supposed to look like that.)

I gave the donkeys a little something for playtime.


At first they weren't sure if they should investigate, but curiosity overtook them.

They each ventured out for a sniff, a lick, and a scratch with the hoof.

Daphne decided that it made a good scratching post...


neck and chin scratcher.


Chloe tried to push it around with her nose.


It doesn't take much to entertain donkeys!


We had a visit yesterday from our new beekeeper, Cody.
(Hubbs had to retire from beekeeping last month when he ended up in the hospital
with an anaphylactic reaction to a bee sting.)


After he finished checking the hives, Cody visited Ginger and Mary
with a special treat.... celery with peanut butter.


Ginger was uninterested, but MaryAnn found her new favorite food.


Slipping the entire piece of celery into her mouth,
she sucked the peanut butter right off,
and spit the celery back out.


Since the celery still smelled like peanut butter, she decided to just eat the entire thing.


The next 5 minutes were spent searching for pieces that she might have missed.


YUMMY!!!


Maybe she'd like her peanut butter on a Ritz!!

- A Treat For The Birds
Look at how attentive Sadie and Maddie are as Jack spreads peanut butter over his home-made bird feeder. He took a pine log, bore holes into it, screwed an eye-hook in the top and filled each hole with peanut butter. This creation will hang in the midst...
