Happy chickens

The snow is away and the green grass is back for the joy of our chickens. The last two weeks the chicken were not very happy, spending most of the time inside. They do not like the snow or the cold for that matter. Only Betty ( the youngest one) adventured outside walking on on  the  snow, looking for food. The funny thing with them is that you give them  some food and they eat only some of it, then the go away in search of something different. So the crows come down and eat the rest of it.
Anyway, now they are happy and this weekend they spent most of the time outside, as we did working on the wooden house. We finished putting down the wooden floor. Now it looks like a chalet. Please with the job.Now I need to think about the internal walls and the insulation.
What did we eat this weekend?
Saturday lunch was some rescued sandwiches. Christopher went out see the panto in the evening with a packet meal and Lesley and me had scallops au gratin ( recommended), boiled beetroot leaves and stems, cheese and bread.
Lunch on Sunday was gnocchi for all ( made them in the morning) and in the evening a roast pheasant with boiled cabbage and roast potatoes. Cabbage and beetroot were from school garden. I also rescued more parsley as it is incredibly still OK after that snow and cold spell.
