Eggs

So, our chickens are keepers.  They are officially laying eggs!  Of course, now it is almost winter, so I am sure it will stop, but the boys were pretty excited the morning they found some eggs.  They even ate them for breakfast!  They all said they were delicious! 

 

So, about two nights ago Monty heard something strange coming from outside, so he went upstairs and on the porch was sitting a huge raccoon!  He was just looking in the screen glass door.  We realized that we had forgotten to lock up the chickens.  Tyler went out and found Madea and she was bleeding.  The raccoon got to her, but she was okay.  Bella was in the cage.  The boys were so concerned.  For days Kyle wanted us to take Madea to the Vet.  They would come in from outside and say, "Bella and Madea are just not acting right."  However, Tyler informed me this morning that Madea seems to be doing better.  The boys have enjoyed the chickens.
