Chicken Update

Last weekend while I was here doing important things

this dog,

which I'm not thinking is quite so cute anymore, came for another visit.  Coincidentally, or not, we lost another chicken that same day.

We are also so far down in egg production, just one every other day, that we've decided to keep the chickens locked up in the coop.  I noticed there was one egg, but there are four chickens.

We've told them they are grounded until egg production picks up.  

They aren't too happy about it, but so far we haven't put a copy of Bill Bennett's The Book of Virtues in there for them to read.  While that's standard fare for our a grounding in our family we haven't come to that yet.
