Chicken Football

Chickens are awesome.

And they get really excited about bugs. Today they ate a carpenter bee, four wasps, three earthworms and this caterpillar.

Chicken football - game on!

The last couple of days I have seen some new and interesting moths. This one looks like a clover leaf

And this one that looks like... I dunno. Some sort of crazy moth. 

This is not a moth. It's a Daisy Bear playing with her bedtime rope toy.

Some nights she's not quite ready to go to sleep so she'll chew quietly on her rope. Tonight the Queen 'helped.'

Yesterday the King and Queen started to whitewash the coop. Not only does it help keep bugs from making the wood their home, it certainly brightens the place up.

Normally the Queen is against painting wood, but...

I have to admit, it looks pretty good.

Our local Ace Hardware is really expanding their selection!
  

This was the day the Queen decided to buy her very own island. 

But seriously... it boggles the mind how not one, but two people had to let this pass QA in order for it to happen...

And then there was this...

Really? After I had to go to Carthage and pick my silkies out of the bantam bucket, they have them at my local TSC and in their own tub????

ARGH!

Yes... it was hard to walk away... but the Queen is strong...
