Hi, Yes and in fact that is exactly what I just finished doing. Mama, eggs and baby are back on a nest inside my xl dog crate inside the garage. Insulated underneath with several rugs. Food and water installed as well. Now we wait. Which is sooooooo hard!!!

thank you - Should I not be worried about having more chicks fall out of the nest box and die due to cold?

We've had chickens going on 10 years and I finally have a broody hen. We let her sit on 8 eggs. First two hatched last night. One ended up outside the nest box and didn't make it. Hen is currently in the coop in a nest box. I'm being advised, on another site, to move the healthy chick inside...

A whole fig! Good grief! My figs aren't ripe yet - probably in a couple of weeks. Will be interesting to see what my hens do with them!

I thought I was the only one!!! I I heard it for the first time Monday morning and we had our very first egg. Now I lie in bed every morning waiting to hear her again. So far nothing. But I know it won't be long until I am serenaded each and every morning. Congratulations and enjoy!!

I am interested in what others say too. My pullets are 19 weeks old and do the same thing. TThere are always loose feathers about and I see them being eaten now and then. They've been doing it for some time now with no adverse effect. I supplement them every couple of days with black oil...

WhoooHooo!! Congrats on your green egg. I too got my first two green eggs this week. One is a light green and the other is olive green. I hope my third gal gives me a blue one. Crossed fingers!!!

She looks so content. Good luck. I'm sure she'll do great!

Congratulations! Must be an EE California kind of day! I got my 2nd egg ever this week from one of my EEs.

What an exciting week!! My 3 EEs and 2 RIRs are all 19 weeks old and we got our first egg on Monday and another today. Both from my EEs. I know who laid the egg today as I saw her in the next box and shortly after I found her egg. Question: The egg laid on Monday was light green and a bit...

Thank you robin416 - I will keep an eye on her.

All are 19 weeks old. In fact we got our first egg today! It might even have been the hen with the chipped beak. She is one of two that "look" ready to lay.

I noticed this evening while having a talk with my girlz that one of them has a partially chipped beak. One side of the end has been chipped off. It's very noticeable. She was eating while I watched her. Didn't see her take a drink. One of the other pullets was pecking at her a bit around...

I have 3 EEs and 2 RIRs. All are 19 weeks old. Found my first egg this morning from one of my EEs. I am so curious and eager to know who laid the egg. Can I look at the vent to determine who laid the egg this morning?

Early this morning, I think around 6:00 a.m. or so, we heard one of the hens squawking like crazy. I wondered when I heard this if the rooster was having his way with one of them or if it was one of girls singing her egg song. With latte in hand, in my robe and orange crocks (that's a picture...

My girls love the beet tops, also the radish greens.

Wow - a lot of work! Looks great - can't wait to see the transformation inside. Your chooks are gonna be livin' LARGE!

Thank you speckledhen. When I find your advice threads I save them in my favorites for future reference and study.
