One of the most entertaining things to do at Papa and Grandma’s farm is to gather the eggs from the multitude of chickens. Gathering eggs can be used as leverage to speed along any unpleasant task, such as school, school, and more school. :) Seriously – the kids look forward to the daily egg hunts, as well as feeding the chickens grubs and table scraps. Yech! I am quit content to stand back and take pictures. :)
These are a few of the cherished pets on the farm.
Just outside of one of the chicken coops, they were all gathered to feed the chickens and snatch their eggs. :)
This little Barred Rock chicken was quite fascinated by my clicking camera. She kept getting so close it couldn’t focus. Definitely not camera shy, this one.
All in all, we had a good haul. Fresh eggs for breakfast and baking, not to mention all the fun we had gathering them!
Barred rock are my favoirte kind of hens. I think they are so cute. It looks like fun.
