after getting our first egg from both hens in just two days, they decided to tell the whole world, starting at sunrise, that they were in lay. Boy, what a couple of loud mouths. We were in a panic, since our hens are sort of " outside the law" We envisioned our local swat team pulling in the drive and locking the whole family up, including the chickens. Since we have a large unused basement, I thought why not !! I may be nuts, and it's OK to tell me so, I constructed a large pen down there, complete with heat and cooling, a roost and nice nesting box. It's been 4 days now and all is well with the world and the police never came. Strange as this sounds, it's been a pleasure to awaken to the sounds of life in this house. If you ever thought of doing this, let me know.I won't think you're crazy if you don't think I am.......drop us a line
