My son just found our first egg! He heard Ginormo, one of our buff orps that hatched in early February, going "Buckbuckbuckbuck" and went to look. Sure enough, we have a winner

This is "Big Daddy". He was gifted to us along with 10 7week old longhorn and comet pullets. We named him Big Daddy because of his cocky attitude. Lol I am brand new at having chickens and have only had them for a cpl weeks but they have already brought me such joy and I'm continuously thinking of ways to improve their home. I almost dread when the fall comes and I have to return to work when school starts....I'd rather jst stay home and garden and be with the chickens haha
I have a question. We want to free range our chickens in our front fenced in yard but their coop and run is out back with,a pool and out building in between. How can we train them to go the front yard and then come back to the coop at night? I have been taking them to this area for the past 4 days by hand but it's a bit aggravating and time consuming.

Pretend you're the Pied Piper, but with treats instead of music. Teach them that a particular can/jug/tone of voice/catch-phrase/whatever means treats. Once they start mobbing you when you give the "signal", it will be very easy to get them to follow you wherever you want.
Next in the introductions is Eduardo, a White-faced Black Spanish bantam. He is shaping up to be a great little roo. Standoffish with me, but always on the alert and no signs of aggression. If all that continues, he'll definitely be a keeper and will likely stay with the garden flock to look after everyone while they bug hunt.
