Bel is Broody and I have been away too long

Life has changed among the chickens. Bel and Cleo have grown up and produce eggs regularly. Bel is a bit broody and likes to sit in the nesting box as much as possible. I even have to pull her out so she will get some exercise. I am told this is normal and it's good to have at least one broody hen. Cleo and her will lay eggs and Bel sits on them. It's like she is in heat. She wants the eggs to hatch so she can take care of babies.

They say snow is on the way, so we move into a new stage of life with chickens.

Our first family meal ala chickens and garden greens!
