Cluck cluck
He thinks he's a chicken! When I take treats to the girls, he goes right in and eats alongside them. I didn't notice him in there the other night and locked him in there. Ted let him out the next morning. I bet he slept in a nest box!

Kickin’ it into high gear
My hens are ridiculously backwards with their egg laying. Most hens lay tons when it's warm (late spring through early fall). My girls lay eggs when it's super cold.

Learning to play nice
The flock and Meaner, the big tomcat, have a mutual respect for each other. The two kittens Ted rescued at work and brought home are learning exactly what that means. I figure when they get chased across the yard just a few more times, they'll understand those hens mean business! LOL
