Last week's #egg #donation to our local #FoodCloset.
Eight dozen--5 dozen were donated, the other 3 were given out to the kid's ukulele group.
The girls come through with the #cackleberries even when molting, in winter! 😀

Latest egg #donation!
Vital now that the government has cheerfully halted the #SNAP program.
Three dozen went to the kid's ukelele group, the other five went to the food closet.
Fellow #ChickenSky folks, I'm challenging YOU to also donate #eggs! Get those cackleberries gathered up & taken in! 🐓🥚😀

It happened AGAIN.
Little juvenile California #quail got all enthusiastic and crawled into our big chicken feeder...
and get stuck.
But worse than getting Internet shamed is how the chickens just keep eating out there.
Poor, pretty thing. Only thing injured was her pride. 😁
