Cabbage Morning

Yesterday we mixed things up for the chickens a little bit.  After discovering that that they had pecked at some of the insulation in their coop and ate some Styrofoam, we knew they needed a diversion.  Papa Hen pulled out the old cabbage holder that we made last summer and gave them a treat.  The cabbage is on the right side.  The birds were in the dirt bath discussing the strange green sphere.  In no time, they attacked!

I climbed up on the fence to take a peek at the chickens from the driveway.  While balancing there, I realized that I had a great view of the solar panel and optic eye that "drives" the automatic door.  Even with the label in the photo, it is hard to see the optic eye.  It looks like a pen sticking up from the top left corner of the solar panel.  Papa Hen and I can't say enough about the automatic door we purchased from Chicken Doors: Home of the Pullet-Shut Automatic Chicken Doors.  It's made our mornings and evenings a lot less stressful--and our chicken sitter likes it too!
