    Thank you! Whoever is laying hasn't read the articles on using nesting boxes, and has dug out a little nest in the run. I just put some golf balls in the nest boxes and hoping she will take the hint! Eggs are perfect!

    Thank you so much! I have wanted to raise chickens for many years, and this was the year to jump in and just do it! I am amazed at and amused with their personalities, and enjoy watching them grow. Awaiting our first eggs! Do I sound like a mom? Best regards!

    The girls at Barncroft: we are 6 Buff Orpingtons and 3 Black Austrolorps, hatched April 1, 2014 (no fooling!). When we are not hanging around the run or roosting in the coop, we love running around the yard! We love scratching around the gardens, and especially love getting treats during Happy...
