December in the Hen House

Let me start by apologizing for the lack of posts. I started a new job in October which requires considerably more time & devotion than even I had expected.

The hens now have a coop which has been electrified! (i.e., no longer do we have 100 feet of extension cord running across the back yard!) When I recover from my broken wrist, (fell outside a week before Christmas) I will take the time to write about this adventure!

It's finally cold & snowy here (December 28 has got to be the longest we've had to wait for snow, but I was loving it). The hens aren't sure what to think of it. Egg production has slowed slightly. Could be the temps?  The little hen house though is very tight and the girls remain pest-free and cozy.

That's all for now -- not a fan of typing one-handed!
