Morning! Tea has already been consumed in quantity and will continue to be throughout the day.

At this time of year the hens have a long night without food, so I usually give them some sort of food treat, just before it gets to their time where they wander into the henhouse for the night, to keep them going through a cold night. This evening it was warm, cooked pearl barley. They absolutely adore it (I hate it - it stinks). Cathode will literally jump/fly up to my waist height which is the level I carry the bowl of barely at, and she sticks her head in the bowl and pinches it even before I get as far as putting it in their feeding bowls. Poor Anode, who is distinctly *down* as she is going through a full moult, perks up enough to offer a few excited clucks as I put it in the bowls and then she tucks in. It'll help give them the energy to keep warm all night long.
