Well, hubby is not giving in to the girls having run of the yard. He has already been to Home Depot to buy materials to build a fence to keep them on the side yard. Maybe I can give them them mulch and garden they have dug up to play in on the side yard! Do you clip your hens wings? I haven't...

One of our silver-laced Wyandotte's just laid her first egg! I went to let them out and she was in the nesting box. She waddled out into the grass and I could see the tip of the egg. She squatted, laid and ran to catch up with the the others!

This site has helped so much! Thanks to...
