The Chicken Chronicles 11.6.20

This week we realized that Bandit's collar was too tight - when he struggled to swallow some berries we fed him.  Ben loosened the collar and he hasn't seemed to have any trouble swallowing since, but he is crowing more loudly, more often.  We just need to move to a farm.

Also this week the coop got two more upgrades: windows (they're so cute!) and a fancy shingled pitched roof over the run.  We've had a temporary piece of plywood over the run until now, but we knew that once the winter snows start, the flat plywood wouldn't hold up.  I'll share a picture of the finished product once the trim and painting are finished.

The eggs have been building up and I still buy store-bought eggs so I can
have the correct sizes for baking (our hen's eggs are more medium than large)
so we gave away our first dozen eggs to our sweet elderly next-door neighbor.

It's hard to tell what this is.... it's one hen's back half and
one hen's head while they're perched on a roosting bar in the
coop while looking through a newly-installed window.
