Chicken Update III

When we were away for the weekend there was a cold in Tyler.
My dad quickly constructed a winter home for the chickies to put inside the Monkey House.
The girls refer to the cabin as the Monkey House.
My mom and dad had to pull the "Winter Home" up the hill in our yard, heaved it over the fence, and put it inside the cabin.
Mom was ready for us to come home and take care of the chickens.

 
 We found out this week that the ladies love parsley.

 Watching chickens can be therapeutic.
We have spent quite a few afternoons sitting in the sun observing these not so intelligent creatures..

The chickies take daily sand baths to prevent parasites from moving into their feathers.
Also very entertaining to watch because they all want to bath in the same "tub" at the same time.
 Anne looooooves the chickies!
