Spring Work

This weekend, we finally had a break from the rain. We have been planting what we can and weeding where we can as the weather is nicer. The garden is still too wet to do much with and now we have two more days of rain forecast. Oh well. It will eventually get planted.

The chickens have come to an uneasy truce between the two groups. The young ones hang out in the coop while the old ones hang out below in the grass. Occasionally, they will venture into the coop to eat, sleep and lay eggs. They are still complaining to me but they are getting less vocal about them. I figure they have given up on this stupid human who just doesn't seem to get how annoying those little things are in their home.

Wednesday when it is supposed to be nice and warmer we will force the issue of getting the little ones down onto the grass. Two have made it down below so far but quickly went back up. We will put the big ones in the other run so the little ones can see how tasty and fun the grass below is without being harassed. We will also teach the little ones who have not ventured out how to go up and down the ramp. Should be a fun day.
