Any Ray of Sunshine Will Do


There is too much snow for the wild chickens and roosters to go outside and forage. They are stuck in the barn and try to take whatever they can get from what drops on the floor from the bucket when I carry feed into the chicken room. They steal food from the cats in the hay mow. I shoo the aggressive roosters away when I climb the ladder with kitty food, but it's quite a fight sometimes. I'm trying to catch the wild hens and put them in the chicken room where there is plenty of food and water, but they would rather be free. They ride around on the backs of the sheep to keep their feet warm and find any sunny window they can to soak up some rays.
