Though we were lead to believe (by the internet, of course) that chickens are basically living composters, we've tried feeding them all kinds of goodies and they've turned down all but one. Watermelon, corn on the cob, bread, grass clippings, and herbs have all been turned down. The one thing they agreed to eat?: peaches that I canned three years ago and have been afraid to eat because what if they have botulism?! Eek. They were alive this morning, so it looks like at least that jar of peaches was safe.
We also spiffed up a the coop a bit in between rainstorms. Here's how it looks now with the added flowerpots and mulch. Also, I had to share a picture of Wilson's chicken lovin.'
On the pregnancy front, Sunny Meadow is becoming more active and much bigger. I've gained about 10 pounds, which doesn't feel great, but as Wilson likes to remind me, this is the best it's gonna be for a while. I don't have another appointment until the end of July, and I'll likely skip that one since these appointments in the middle are pretty worthless when everything is going fine.
I came across KiwiCrate today which sells these adorable little crates filled with activities and crafts for kiddos and I thought Sam would really enjoy it. I may have to try out one - their Summer Discovery Pack looks like a good time.
maybe you also need a goat.
