Box full of sunshine

On a gray and cloudy day.... These are in the dehumidifier right now, getting dry and ready to be saved for winter. To bring some sunshine to my new coop.

Yep, the flock has gotten locked up behind fence, so no more roaming around free. I couldn't keep them in the garden. They went strolling in the neighbours gardens, so before anyone gets to annoyed, they got locked up.

Sorry for them and more work for me. Now I'll have to provide fresh grass and other Greens everyday, if I want to get those yummi eggs, that I'm used to.

So today I collected a box full of dandelion blossoms, - in a week they will be gone, turned into fluffy White balls, speading seed all over. But now I hope to get the dry and use them in chicken treats in winter.

Mine nye babies

Forår bringer nyt liv, - bare se her...

Spring brings new life, - just look...

Da vinteren tog livet af to af mine æglæggere, har jeg købt 5 kyllinger. 2 Maran og 3 purhøns. Nu håber jeg blot, det ikke er haner, da de er købt som pryddyr og til at supplere min lille flok af æglæggende damer.

The winter was tough on my little flock and cost me two of my egglaying hens, so now I've bought 5 chickens. 2 Maran and 3 frizzle. So now I cross my fingers, that they don't grow up to be roosters, because they are bought for their good looks and to supply my 'eggfactory'.

Purhønsene får mig til at smile, hver gang jeg ser dem med deres 'morgenhår'.

The Frizzles makes me smile everytime I see them.

Helt udenfor nummer er der også kommet en anden lille ny til. Det var bestemt ikke planlagt.

Jeg så ham første gang i hønsehuset, hvor han var inde og stjæle æg. Der fandt jeg ud af, at han bestemt ikke var tam, - av min tommel!

Another newcomer arrived totally out of planning. The first time I saw him, he was steeling eggs in the coop. And I found out the hard way, that he wasn't used to humans.

Her er den lille gavtyv. Han opholdt sig i naboens brændeskur og levede af de rester fra køkkenet hønsene levnede. Stakkels lille pus.

Here's the little rascal. He lived in the neighbours woodshed and lived of the leftovers from the kitchen, that the chickens didn't eat. Poor lille fellow.

Vi indfangede ham og holdt ham indespærret i hønsenes extra bur(1x2m) inde i skolestuen, indtil han vænnede sig til os mennesker og begyndte at vise interesse for os. Det tog kun tre dage, så var fingre ikke længere farlige, men kunne bruges til at nusse med.

We caught him and keept him indoors in the chickens extra cage(1x2m) in the old classroom, until he got used to us humans and started to show some positive interest in us. It took 3 days, then he realized that fingers are not dangerous, but can be used for cuddling.

Nu er han en værrere lille terrorist :-) og føler sig hjemme i det meste af huset.

Now he's a regularitet little terrorist :-) and feels confident in most of the house.
