It seems the warm weather has brought out new sources of protein for the girls and the eggs are getting bigger. Many are now what looks like Jumbo size. I can't imagine what that must be like for the ladies so I just keep giving them extra treats. This morning I am taking bananas out to them. The chicken coop has held up well over the winter and the run is a nice safe place for the chicks to play in when they are not out running around. Nicole gave us a couple of fans so if it is really hot this summer we could put one out there to circulate the air for them. One thing I discovered this winter is that they like ice. When I knock out the ice from the water bowl, they all go over and eat the ice pieces. I guess it's nature's way of keeping them hydrated in the winter. Of course if they were just a little bit smart, they would just drink the nice warm water I just poured into the bowl!
