Went out to check On the girls (chickens) Medusa was chilling in the nesting boxes. She had to come over to have her photo taken. 🤣🤣

However my sweet girl didn’t seem to want to share the spot light with Bella when she joined in.

😂😂😂 A little too close girls!

That’s better! #chickens #coops #lovechickens #mygirls

I went out to collect eggs from the girls (chickens) and Bella was in a nesting box. She was sitting on four eggs! She was sweet didn’t peck at me😊 she enjoyed getting some pets. I wasn’t taking the eggs out fast enough ( I had my phone doing the video in one hand and the basket wasn’t close to us) she would push them back under her. One day she will make a good mama. When some chickens go broody they can get protective over the eggs. Even go as far as to peck at someone if they try to take the eggs out of the nest.

Today I finished knitting my daughter her scarf. I had started it back in June. I’ve never been fast at knitting so when I get something done it’s exciting for me. My daughter had picked yellow, white, and pink to use for her scarf. When I was almost done with it she told me .. ” mom that’s very bright maybe we should change the color” no child you said yellow it’s taken me almost a year to make this.. it’s staying yellow! 😂😂😂😂

I spent a lot of time on what to name my coop. I know to some this must seem silly. For me it was something I wanted to accomplish.

I finally fell in love with ” delicious cluckers” no I as of right now do now have any meat birds but some day I would like too. I found this name to be funny. I’m not the best at painting letters but I do love how my chicken turned out! #funnyname #chickens #farmlife #lovemycoopname

Went out today and cleaned out the girls (chickens). Scrub down the roosting pole and their ladder that leads to the nesting boxes. I also added more pine shavings for their bedding in the nesting boxes and on the ground floor of the coop. Then we decided to take some selfies!

Today was a low key day for myself. My kids and I got some cleaning done then we took a lazy Saturday. I got my sewing stuff out and made another pillow. I call this one thrown roses. Only messed up in a few places but it still looks cute.

Tonight I made my first throw pillow! I love the fabric that my husband found for me! I still have some learning to do on how to hide my stitches but I don’t think I did too bad of a job for my very first time! #sewingrocks #chickens #lovechickens #chickenpillow #chickenthrow

Before school had some fun with the girls (chickens). We did a little video of them drinking.

It wasn’t a nice day today. It was very grey I know for most people they don’t like the overcast grey sky. I however love it! I had planned on cleaning the girls (chickens) roosting poles but with the weather being grey and then raining I didn’t want to take the baby outside, so cleaning the roosting poles will be put on tomorrow’s to do list.

For Christmas my wonderful husband got me a sewing machine! After reading the instruction booklet and getting no where because to me it was like reading a foreign language. I turned to YouTube videos, watching those for two and half days I finally felt that I could give it a try and for about an hour I couldn’t get my machine threaded. My wonderful husband came up to see how I was doing and after watching one of the videos he was able to get it threaded! I still have a lot to learn and I need to remember the names of the things but for right now I have my own names for them. For example this is a rotary cutter

I call it a pizza cutter🤣. I did get my first blanket made tonight I made a few mistakes but over all I like it for my first time.
