A Hot Dinner

It's been quite cold here for the past few days -- a damp cold that just doesn't want to shift, no matter how long the radiators are left on. The poor hens don't get much relief from the constant chill, so I decided to give them a hot dinner of porridge and raspberries.



It was enjoyed by all, but Nella ended up with the messiest beak.



I hope everyone is having a very happy New Year.

You do spoil your girls...LOL! I'll bet they lay the best eggs in the world for you though. :)

They do lay some lovely eggs! I noticed they were really keen to drink the hot water I use to thaw their drinking bowl a couple of times a day. I figured they might like hot food, too.

Amber, messy beaks mean happy hens. Usually! :)
