OK, then what does the "+ quote" do?

Thank you!

That seems like the proper thing to do. Somehow I think my hubs would say the same thing. I just can't imagine him out there helping me.

I think my reply was meant for someone else and I can't fix it. Sigh.

Regarding your statement that if I had a predator proof run I could keep the pop door open. I have fairly moderate weather here so I'm thinking maybe leaving the pop door open might work. But at the same time I thought wouldn't that lead to colder conditions inside the coop? I know the birds...

Yes, it is. I feel better already. Can't wait till it stops raining for a minute so I can get out there building and predator proofing! Thanks!

Have you ever missed collecting eggs in a 24 hour period? Is that a no no?

That's hilarious! :D I'll bet she's your favorite!

Thank you, I just wanted to be more sure than not. You birders give me hope. :D

That is a good idea. I like it! Thank you.

Oh! Looka there! Landscape IS a whole different perspective than portrait. Thank you! :D

Just curious. I included my general location in my personal details which, I assume carries over to where it should be but when looking at a post I've made it doesn't seem evident. Where do you guys "see" this info?

Wow, this is a whole new platform to get used to! Yes, in your spare time (ha! we all have a bunch of that!) that would be appreciated. Meanwhile,I need to go visit my desk top cuz I can't see a thing. Question though... can I grab a picture off the Internet or do I use a picture, which would...

Thank you for all your advice! It sounds like if I plan everything well, I should be able to have a modest amount of hens. I think I kept thinking that the days I get home at 3 was a little too early to wish them a good morning so I'd have to go to sleep for a bit then get up and feed them then...
