Another day in the non boring life

My poor chickens didn't get let out for like 3 days.  Mom had to work late those days and it's getting darker earlier now.  The weather has been great and is getting ready to cool down now. 
I did let them out for longer periods on my days off.  They have been doing great and I've been averaging 4 brown and 1 green egg for the last week.  We had Huevos Rancheros last night for dinner, yum!
I made a book to keep record of the chickens.  I used my new Bind-It-All to bind it with.  I have egg charts first.  I redid the colums in the egg chart I found online for the months.  It had one column for the month and 1-31 down each column.  I want to keep track of brown eggs and Other eggs so have two columns, the second with eggs from Princess and Queenie which should be green and Red who lays a large brown egg, which is twice as large as the barred rock eggs.  I then have a section for keeping track of happenings like when they had lice and to keep track of when I clean the coop, and lastly recipes I found to make cleaners, antiseptics, and antibacterial hand soap.  The recipes are ran through a laminator so I can move them to another book when I need to change if that time comes.  The photo is actually my chickens and I found the "Taylor's All in One record so used it for decoration.
