Sleep knits the ragged sleeve of care. Our sole hen, Bianca, made her way out and about the farm today. Not a really pleasant day weatherwise, but this chicken stands to be the last one standing. She is one tough hen. We feed crackers at the house shed and Bianca was there to get her fair share this morning. Schedule as usual. Late morning she found a patch of dirt in the drive and got to dusting her feathers, happy as a clam.
She was quickly thwarted by another round of heavy snow…so I gathered her up and put her in the coop for the rest of the day where it’s warm and dry, solitary for her, but at least she’s safe and cared for.
