On Wednesday I had a lot of shoveling to do. I decided to shovel the chicken coop roof so as not to have a roof collapse. The snow was heavy, and I wasn't sure how much weight the coop roof could handle. Here's a picture of the coop before I shoveled. As you can see, we got a decent amount of snow. The chickens didn't mind. When I opened the coop door, they ran out and explored the Aviary. It was cute to see them waddling through all that snow.
I also got my first frozen eggs this morning. I am guessing that they were eggs from yesterday and they froze over night. I am not sure how I missed them last night, but it seems unlikely that they froze this morning -- it isn't that cold!
We had two snow days because of all of the snow. We spent only a little time outside in the snow ("it's too cold, mom"), but we did build a snow fort and have a snowball fight. Will got caught up on his grading, and I took three naps. Gotta love snow days! Alex drew this picture, so I thought I would share it. I think you can tell it's a chicken laying an egg, but you decide.
you take such good care of the girls! Shovel their roof, I can't believe you thought of that! So that is what the eggs look like frozen!
