What I never thought I'd be doing on a Christmas Eve PC

Recommended Posts

..that's pre chickens. :wink:

 

I spent some time this morning thanking whoever put us on this planet for this bitterly cold weather as I poo picked in record time as the stuff is rock solid. I was away last weekend so the girls have not had a proper clean for two weeks. :oops: But it was so easy to do. I've cleaned out the nest box and I've also put down a bit more Bedmax in the runs (quite like this and the girls do too) and given all the drinkers and feeders a good old scrub. I think the girls were happy for some FRing time as they have not been out for a couple of weeks but were really delighted to scramble back home once I moved the fencing so they could get back in the runs as the whole garden is rock solid and still has a good sprinkling of snow. No mealworm bribes were needed. :clap:

 

I've trimmed the sprouts and peeled the spuds for tomorrow so I boiled all the trimmings and peelings up for girly Christmas treats and one little pot has some Poultry Spice and saltanas added so it's like chooky mince pies. :lol:

 

Our scrambled eggs and smoked salmon breakfast is going to be so lush tomorrow thanks to them - I will raise a glass of bucks fizz to our lovely girls in appreciation of their 'hard work'. :dance:

Due to the snow I was only able to clean out the nesting box last weekend in a freezing blizard so today while the girls FR I gave them a good clean out and then dug up the new potatoes for tomorrow (Christmas day) I did this last year and it was so nice to have great tasting potatoes with our meal. I must say I was freezing by the time I came in and wondered 'Is all this worth it'. :lol: Then I think 'Yes it is' Happy with life :D
