I'd love Marilyn to hang out at my coop for awhile but I'd need to borrow that extra 'bator you said you have. Better yet I'd rather buy the 'bator from you so that I can add a fan and an electric thermostat. Does it have an egg turner? I don't really mind turning them myself though. People worry too much about a little cool down. Hens leave the nest occasionally to eat and drink. As long as you leave the lid open for very short time periods they're fine!

Coop looks great! I was wondering about the progress you were making on it.

I have all my Coop progress on another thread in Coop design. It is almost done. It has been especially fun building it since the sun has finally came out!

Well I'm off to Green's Feed to get more food for my little piggys, er... hens!

I lost one of my gals this evening! I've checked with all the neighbors and no one has seen her. She has just disappeared.

I have a six foot fence around my whole yard and can't find any feathers on the ground. They all have 1 wing clipped and can't clear the 4 foot fence around their pen but I let them out to free range and 1 didn't come back. I don't know how she could have gotten over a 6' fence! We went to shut them up at dusk and when we counted them (as we do every night) she was gone "poof".
I'm bummed, she was one of my best layers and well behaved too. Why couldn't it have been one of the obnoxious ones?

maybe she'll turn up tomorrow... maybe she set a nest....
good luck....

I agree. My girlfriend had four run off together and pick a favorite tree to get up into (very hard to get back into the coop). But since yours are clipped lets wish for a comfy bush?

Good luck Sunny.

Hatch update as requested for the early birds-5 buff orp ducklings, actually due tomorrow but started early am.

Plus the 'downsized' herd.

Hi Evonne,

on the rentals there are some available. I think that you can look at the local paper for rent classifieds at www.mvprogress.com/classifieds/homerentals
