When I went to fill up water and feed the chickens, it was sleeting quite a lot. It was very gray outside and the chickens were soaking wet and huddled under the white canopy with their feathers sticking down in spikes, so they looked pretty funny.  Today is brighter but still pretty cold and when I let them out, they were unleashed from the coop like a terrifying chicken-army and immediately made a path to one of their food containers. There was another inside of the coop, but it had been knocked over, and there was as well so many eggs in the coop.

The chickens lay many different types of eggs since we have so many different breeds; some of the colours include an average brown/tan colour, a greenish blue, and a very light pink. We have way too many eggs from the chickens for our family so my mom will fill up a carton and give them to friends sometimes which is nice.
