Another cold, windy winter day here in Oklahoma and the sun is so bright it nearly blinds you. And, another day indoors except for feeding time and we're going to town later to have dinner with friends. A couple of hours ago I went out to feed the chickens and found another frozen egg one of them had laid on the floor of the hen house. Uck! They must really miss getting to roam around outside. I think even the chickens are getting cabin fever after a couple of days of being shut in. Or, maybe it's just that the other hens 'take up residence' in the nest boxes to keep warm and others can't get in to do their business.? I don't know. Even though there's ten nest boxes they have always picked three or four to lay all the eggs in for some reason. Maybe I can let them out in the snow tomorrow, but it isn't melting at all today and the drifts are pretty deep.
