This post, if y'all can't tell, is written by Doc's wife, Addie.
Some of y'all will know about the FixedByDoc and our Egg-A-Day ... project? Thingy...? Well, anyway. A long time ago (well, when you look at the number of pictures it has generated, it was a long time!) we decided to record a quick video of our collecting the eggs from our chickens each day. After a while, it became easier to take pictures of them. Our internet is S...L....O............W...... so pictures upload a lot faster.
And it seemed like a lot of people found this interesting, so we kept at it. After a while, I started trying to add a bit of info about the weather, because that affects the chickens and their egg production. Plus, it's just interesting to have a sort of mini-weather journal, and it's not much more effort to add that to the Egg-A-Day.
And I think I've already introduced the chickens, but periodically there will be glimpses of them, or other incidental stuff I notice while taking the pictures.
So, here we go...sorry for the delay, every day we didn't post them, turned the 'catch-up' bigger and bigger and more daunting... so I've decided to try to take a bite out of it today.

You may have noticed I took pictures of places eggs probably should be (like in the little Tractor Supply --long story!-- coop in the nesting boxes...) but there weren't eggs there... that's basically the point. It's to show that while quite often the chickens use those places, today I didn't find an egg there.
I also like to take a picture or two of the forest, trees, shrubs, etcetera to show a bit of what it currently looks like... so when the leaves come out in spring, or the snow piles up, melts away, or the leaves turn in autumn, there's a bit of a peek at what the season looks like. (Ok, I think I spelled etcetera properly, but the spell check doesn't like it...hm, the internet thinks I spelled it properly, too.)

And you'll notice, I usually try to start the day's collection with a picture including the dry erase date card thingy, either with some weather/seasonal thing in the background, or where I'm making my first collection.
Thanks for checking in, hopefully I'll get a bunch more of these up soon!
