Cold Weather

Cold weather has been going on for quite a while.  The chicken have only
got to go on for as long  as it took to to clean the bathroom--it gets a
thorough cleaning daily. 

The chickens decided they weren't going to lay eggs outside.  Thry
began to come to the door one by one--when we'd open the door,
in they'd strut,  Go directly to the bathroom--stand directly in front
o the sink vanity and look up at us, as if to say, "Pick me up, please>"
Of course, we always picked them up,  How could anyone say to
such beseeching looks? 

I hope they don't expect such treatment come Spring.
