Girls camp and chickens

I am trying to figure out all this blogging stuff, so for a while this will probably be boring. Once I get comfortable with posting, I try doing other things. Just got back last Friday from a week of girls camp. It was probably one of the best girls camp I have ever been to, almost relaxing. The girls were good and the leaders all got along great! That is always nice. Well when I drove up to my house everything was quiet and no one was around. As I was walking into the house I noticed broken eggs on the lawn, I went into the house and all the adults were taking naps when I asked where everyone was they said that some of the children were up stairs playing a game and some out back. I went out just in time to see kids in the chicken coop. As most of you know, it was exactly this time last year that a darling grandchild let the dogs into the coop and they had a great time, the end result, two happy dogs, 15 dead chickens and 1 survivor. We now have 16 hens and 1 rooster. As I walked out I noticed more broken eggs on the patio. I went to the coop and ushered children out and went in to inspect. Some one had forgot to collect eggs and I had about 15- 18 eggs all smashed in the coop with hens covered with yolk, so we got out the hose and sprayed everything down. Grandchildren you got to love them (and I do!) Oh, and the pad lock is on the gate.
