Sarabee's chickypopsRe: Sarabee's chickypopsI stripped the coop yesterday for a grand clean and was amused to see that Buttercup has taken over as the cleaning supervisor.
Dottie survived eating carrier bag bits without any ill effects. Both speckledys seem reluctant to go to bed too early although Buttercup goes in very quickly. There's no sign of nasties in the coop. I suspect my son is giving them treats when he goes out for a dratted cigarette and the security light goes on. Think I'll disconnect it. Bought a long handled pooper scooper for the dog waste but it's so good I'm buying one for the chicken run too. I know buying long-handled anything is a sign of old age but it goes with my grey hair. Egg production is up slightly this week with 5 over two days from 3 hens. I think that's pretty good. I need to get some new photos taken but always seem to get the girls' fluffy knickers and not much else Sara

Re: Sarabee's chickypopsI like the sound of your scoop, seems very useful.
If one of your girls has been eating plastic bags does that mean her poop was hygienically wrapped? Re: Sarabee's chickypops
doesn't smell like that most mornings, maybe she needs those scented nappy bags. The scoop is called 'at arms length' and it has a rake one side and a flat scraper the other Sara

No need to encourage Gaia and Dottie to go to bed. When I went to lock up all three were huddled and Buttercup looked round as if to say 'hurry up then'. This morning there was ice at the base of the drinker for the first time this winter. Three eggs today too so a full house.
My worming pellets came today but son was working on his bike and didn't hear them so have to wait until Wednesday now. Hope the girls are nice and warm. Sara
