Summer is the hens' favorite season. The temperature is glorious, the bugs are out to eat, worms are everywhere to be shoveled out, garden treats are ready, rainstorms are a favorite, the pool is always open, and the days out are long and full. They laid a great amount of eggs over Summer. They created new nest sites with marsh hay, creating beautiful rounds spaces under nasturtiums. We were able to share eggs with neighbors and friends. And always the duck eggs were a hit - so good and so fun to bake with.

I added morning glories and other flowers to their coop.
As the season progressed the flowers blanketed the coop
and made a pretty, flowered cover-up. |

The three hens would take turns building and positioning feathers
and marsh hay for a shared nest beneath the nasturtiums. |

| Their favorite spot in the morning - in the kiddie pool. |

After just laying an egg. They still prefer to bury them under a layer
of marsh hay or below the shavings in their coop.. |
