Spring is here!

Chicken Nanny bonding

Spring is here!  The chickens love this weather as much as we do!  They try to escape from the netted area as soon as we come over.  Will informs me that I am not a good "chicken herder".  He got a good laugh watching me chase them around to put them back in the coop for the night.  But he made up for it by helping me fix the netting with his staple gun (my twist tie technique was only temporary).  

It may be hard to see, but the very last of the snow in
Beth's yard is in the center of the picture.

For those of you that wonder what Alex does when I'm taking care of the girls, here are a few pictures.  Sometimes he tries to pet them (and he is much, much worse than me at trying to "catch" them).  Usually, they see him coming and they head for the coop. 

This is him pretending to be the Captain.

And now he's a pirate, Arrrrr!

 

Finally, we have the chicken dance.
