As per Dee's request, I entered the dark crevices of the chicken coop. These are the day I wonder why in the world I have chickens. Of course the answer is eggs, but sometimes I wonder if it's all worth it. Besides the fact that I spent $70 on feed the other day (and regularly), today I pulled out 6 - 50lb feedbags of poop. Of course it wouldn't be that bad if I just cleaned it out regulary, but somehow cleaning the coop always ends at the end of the list :) It makes me feel justified for charging $2/dozen for the eggs.
Unfortunaly I'm still not done, but the hens were all coming in to lay, so I didn't want to disturb them. This job also counts as my workout for the day. My hands are sore, and my back hurts. I even worked up a sweat. Now I just need to get this smell off me!
