 Next we'll be Express mailing bread!  I have to admit, baking bread is one of my favorite smells (way beats the chicken coop, even when freshly cleaned.

Good job Kate, now if you could train her to wipe her feet! tongue2.gif

 

Deb

The difference between breakfast and chicks, is the temperature you use to "cook" the eggs!

 

What breeds do I have?  More than any sane person would own.

It was laid in the dog house inside the coop, which I put there just for that reason.  The Cayuga ducks started laying in there first.  Today when I went out to do the chores, I found this goose egg, my first!  (And probably Kate's first, too!)

I have no idea what I am going to do with all of mine either.  I have 47 Muscovies in the incubator and oh 40 or so chicken eggs now.  LOL  My husband and his dad made me a nice little chicken coop last spring.  Its about a 4x8 and they have a run that is about 16x20 somewhere around there.  They all free range for the most part though so it is mostly unused except for laying in it.  i am going to put all silkies in there after my game hen finishes hatching her eggs.  She is the only one using the coop right now.  I've seen the other girls try to go in there to lay but she gives them the evil eye and they keep away.  I have 9 little bantam chicks in my brother in law's camper.  LOL He probobly wouldnt be too excited to hear that but he is off working in Canada so what he don't know won't hurt him.  I will clean up the evidence.lau.gif

 

Oh I had a laugh when I read cuyuseranch (sp) post about keeping chicks in her office until time to leave work.  I thought I was the only crazy person who did that!

What incredibly clever people you all are with the look-a-like photos and egg art and dog house repurposing!  I love reading this thread, thank heavens I'm retired, it's a full time job keeping up here!

The top of the egg is covered by a flashlight. A really, really, really bright tactical flashlight my DH just had to have.
