Rick heard from our Chicken Mentor and "Mama" Wendy Thomas that we should be on the lookout for eggs, since siblings of our chickens are now producing "fart eggs," prequels to the full-sized ones that will come later.
I followed Eleanor to the yard to have a look in the coop and to watch her routine of refilling water, checking dry food, and then feeding fresh tasty veggies. Today's delights included some stale oats from the Coventrys next door and some of the delicious ripe grapes growing on the old swingset frame near the coop. Yum!
Eleanor also held Omelettedala, still our most impressive and dominant chicken queen, for some portrait shots that came out rather nicely in the late afternoon light.
