Thursday Sunrise

The sky was beautiful this morning and cast a nice glow on the coop.




Fitz in the Morning

I opened the back door of the coop this morning to scoop under the roosts and was working away at it when I peeked down to see if Fitz had left her early morning egg for us.  Boy, was I startled when I saw her laying quietly on the nest of golf balls and her egg.

Fitz's peace was interrupted (as was mine) when Loud Bill showed up and ruined the quiet moment.  You can just barely see Fitz down there.

Yard Time

Today started out cold and unusually foggy but quickly turned into that sunny Colorado we love.  After Papa Hen and I went for a hike, we sent the girls outside to play.

In the first picture, Fitz presides over two of her flock mates.

Lou is digging solo.
Fitz in action, digging for what she hopes will be a juicy bug below.  Notice her bald spots?  She is still molting.
Bruiser and Bill.
