Nobody here but us chickens... and dog and cats and rabbits and people.

Chicken Central so far continues to be good. The boiler is fixed now, so I have glorious warmth in the bedroom and nearly-warm-warmth in the rest of the house. I've found which window has been left open this year, but haven't been able to get the thing shut; later I'll stuff it with blankets or bubblewrap or something. I know that the Chicken Lady prefers to have good ventilation, but to my mind the house is already adequately ventilated (read: leaky) without doing things like leaving windows an inch open all winter.

Egg output so far: two on Tuesday, three on Wednesday, none today yet (maybe it was too early for them? Or too cold last night, it's getting nippy).

Tuesday night Neil brought in a mouse. ( meep )

All the animals want to eat everyone else's food. ( the grass is always greener in the other bowl )

And really, can I blame them? ( my own meals are quite simple in comparison )
