Current count: 80 eggs
Amazingly enough, the tweaky lawnmower man was successful on all counts...both the lawn mower and the blower are working again. T. mowed and blew both the front and the back right away, which made a huge difference with the Sanford and Son/Green Acres theme we had going on.
To me, it seems idyllic to see chickens scratching in the yard for bugs and eating greens. It doesn't seem idyllic to see them just outside your back door kicking around a pile of straw the dog has made sure to spread out all over your patio in some weird dog game. I love the chickens and everything, but....
In other chicken-and-school-related news, the eggs have begun hatching in second grade! This year I've gotten to see them at every phase of hatching, from the little hole in the top of the egg to the wet, tired, newly arrived chick to the fuzzball stage where they continually try and push themselves under every other chick around them to hide and be warm. I love it that our kids are getting to see this, and I feel a little bit of awe at the cycle of life every time I stop by to watch.
