Chicken nesting boxes

Father and daughter, doing farm work.


Bunny had taken real ownership for the chickens. They are now laying up to 7 eggs a day, and every day at 10 am Bunny goes down to let them out to pasture, feed them table scraps, and collect the eggs. This is "recess" for our school morning...usually Mariposa is done with her lessons and James is well on his way. Anyway, Bunny usually takes all the kids down to the barn while I work on chores, something that we all very much appreciate and love Bunny for. Gemma feels like such a big girl helping out, and James and Mariposa stretch their legs a bit. Bunny is always very kind and gentle, with Gemma at least, and she is teaching all of us some great lessons in patience. :o).

  1. good job Bunny! I always knew she was mature and also tough :-) A lot of adults are too wimpy to do the things Bunny does!

  3. Yesterday we got 8 eggs a new record! I know how to make chickens lay more eggs, make them bored. One time when we let the chickens out it was in the afternoon because we forgot to do it in the morning. And we got 7 eggs. That was the most eggs we got at one time. Love, Bunny
