It's been raining....

.... for a few days now. I haven't let the gang out in the yard because I don't want to go chasing them through the wet grass. They have been getting their afternoon treat of veggies in the pen, but Charlie doesn't know if he should eat the goodies himself or tell the girls where the good stuff is!

The run is just a mess of slippery mud  (and some poopies mixed in), so I threw down some precious straw to try and sop up some of it. They love it - especially Laverne. She started pecking Maude so she could have more for herself. She's turning into a meanie, just like Evil Ethel was!

The poultry show is soon. Think I will get two more hens. Charlie is still too frisky for poor Maude to handle by herself.
