Sing it With Me!!!

(To the tune of What Do You Do with a Drunken Sailor)

What do you do with a noisy chicken,
What do you do with a noisy chicken,
What do you do with a noisy chicken,
Early in the morning!!!

Put 'er in the bathtub, close the curtain
Put 'er in the bathtub, close the curtain
Put 'er in the bathtub, close the curtain
EARLY IN THE MORNING!!!

Our speckled hen, Margaret, has taken to squawking. Apparently she doesn't realize that her happy home only lasts as long as she is not a nuisance. If she doesn't figure out how to keep it down, she's going to find herself in a different living situation; either as dinner, or in someone else's yard. Twice now I've put her in chicken solitary in the bathtub. Once when the girls and I had a full morning AWAY from home (usually I send the girls out to ruffle her feathers when she starts getting noisy) and again this morning. It seems to do the trick for a little while, but I don't really want to make this a habit. She's really very pretty and friendly, but she's not laying yet (only our reds are so far) so she wouldn't be too big a loss. sigh. Guess we'll give it another week or so and see what happens.

Easter Egg Hunt! (...finally...)

For Easter this year we were invited to a new friend's house for a big Easter Egg Hunt! It was very fun. :) It was really organized for a backyard event, and all the kids had a great time. Everybody came home with goodies, and there were easy eggs for the little bitties, and harder ones for the older kids too. Good times!

The line up...
Ready...Set...

I think some are hiding over here...
