Hello There,

I keep getting reminded that I haven’t given a chicken update in a while.   My girls are doing great.  They have moved to a 10′ x 10′ coop with a 10′ x 20′ run, equipped with a play area and spa, lol.

I laugh but here they are showing off their tail feathers.  Actually this is what they typically do when you go to take their picture.  Nice right?  Chicken butts are at least cute.

Today while I was hanging out with them, Buffy decided she would like to take a little photo shoot with me.

You see Buffy sneaking up to chase Red out of the scene.

Now which side is my good side, hmmmmm.. . . . Left, right, head tilted to hide my waddle?  If I stand a little sideways I look slimmer. . . .

Buffy is the top chicken around here.  Get out of line and she will peck you on the head.   She is also the one that everyone wants to cuddle up with at night.   That’s how I raised my sons so I guess she is a lot like me, lol.

Now about that spa that I mentioned.  The chicken spa is pictured above in the background.  That black tub is their dirt bath container.  Yep, chickens take dirt baths and it’s a site to see.  I’ll have to catch them at it some day with the camera.  Never mind Luke in the very background digging a hole to China.   Caught ya Luke!  The grass must be greener on the other side of the fence.

As for me today, this is what I have really been up to. . . . . . . Baking!

Good thing sweet breads freeze well.  Because when you have a bunch of ripe bananas and a bowl of shredded zucchini what else are you going to do, but make 3 large loaves of Chocolate Zucchini Bread, 2 Large loaves and 4 small loaves of Banana Zucchini Bread and two large loaves of Pineapple Zucchini bread.

It was a productive morning, this bowl of shredded Zucchini no longer exists and my neighbors don’t have to dodge me today when they see me coming with yet another zucchini to give away.

So how is your day going?  Do you need some zucchini?
