This week we started a chicken-sitting job for some friends while they travelled back east. The boys are floored and it makes me so anxious to get chickens of our own (hopefully this spring!) Aidan is in charge of scooping out the poop and dirty straw from the laying boxes. He's a champ at it already and feels so responsible. He listened very carefully to the directions. Dominic and Simeon both got into the chicken run and fed them their snacks of oats and lettuce and helped fill the chicken feeders. A perk of the job is that we get to keep all the eggs! Yesterday we brought home eleven and today we had six. It's a fun project and we're learning a lot.
I feel some quiche will be written into the meal plan in the near future.
