Long Suffering Dogs

This is Jesse's crate. He likes to sleep in it. I often find him in it during the day, or when I come home from work. He likes his crate.

So do the chickens. I've shown them sheltering from snow and rain inside, but I didn't realize until yesterday that they are also using Jesse's crate as a nest. Chickens are not great respecters of personal space.

I have to say, it's handy. The crate isn't too far from my front door. I could walk out in the morning and collect breakfast. 

Not sure what Jesse thinks of it. However, the eggs are still there. Both he and Charlie love eggs, so I'm grateful they haven't done my collecting for me.
