Ain't got no blues, got chickens in my back yard

OK, so it's a crappy picture. The chickens got huffy and left before I could take another one. 8 or 9 chickens and Jeff's Guineas have been scratching around the front yard a lot lately. These four decided to hop up on the woodpile and peer in the window at me so I retaliated by taking their picture and am now humiliating them by posting it for the world to see.

So far they are taking the cold weather in stride, still laying although not as many eggs as earlier. I've been pampering them a bit, giving them meat scraps from on old buck deer that my nephew gave me last fall (he's butchered and frozen, lest someone fear that they are eating him alive). Also soaking some grain and feeding it to them warm first thing in the mornings. As the old folks say, take care of your barred rocks and they will take care of you.
