January 22, 2009 - Okay, so sometimes I say chickens aren't smart. But they proved me wrong today. You see, for the past several months they have been experiencing their first season of snow. For most of the winter they've been staying in their coop, eyeing the white stuff suspiciously. But in the past week the snow started to melt and a few green patches started to emerge, bringing the chickens back out to scratch around and enjoy their delicious insect treats.

I looked out the window and was surprised to see all of them pecking at the few remaining patches of green, frantically trying to get every last bit of yumminess they could before it was gone again for who knows how long -
