    My babies made the move

    My 6 week old chicks made the move to the big coop today. They loved the run and flapped about and are in a dog cage in the coop at night until the bigger birds get used to them. They were cuddling close but seemed happy and quiet.

    finally the day I've been waiting for

    so I finally get my first egg and no matter what I did my chick insisted on laying in the rabbits hutch instead of her nesting area in her coop. I realized what she was up to and moved her out of there to where she belongs, plastic eggs and all but right back she went. I'm so proud of the...
