The last two days I have put Spud in a chain link pen and let my chickens out. I was only getting an egg or two a day and today I got six eggs.

they go all through the garden but don't hurt anything. I guess they eat bugs. My tomatoes are tied up and they can't really get at them. I love to watch the chickens. Sigrid came this morning and stayed until noon as Laura is working at St. Mary's Hospital this week doing their Speech Therapy as that lady had surgery or is on vacation or something.

I asked Sigrid...you have breakfast to which she said no. I had frosted flakes or raisin bran. she wanted f flakes. She took the bowl outside and pretty soon came back for another one saying she did not want milk. Quickly second bowl was eaten. She came back for a THIRD bowl. I told her the chickens really like F. flakes don't they, Siggie? To which she said yes. No more cereal from Gigi!

Chickens are so happy when they can roam free. My chickens don't hurt the bigger plants, but they will pull up the seedlings, so right now I am keeping them in their house. I love watching them in the evenings when I turn them out. It's relaxing.
