    "Oh! Really Henrietta?" Said, Gertrude. "Do not encourage him!" "Gather round, ladies! This evening's TED talk will be... 'Gaining wealth. And how best to capitalize on your investments.' I'll show you the... Yikes! Who threw that?!... I saw that Gertrude!!"

    I'm the queen of poop mountain!

    @Birdinhand , Yes, it's necessary to pick up every day. I don't mind it it all, though. I do want to have a better set up for them, however, and something that won't be as time consuming for me. There are several issues which I need to address to improve the situation of housing. As it is now...

    I'm the queen of poop mountain!

    @Mimi’s 13 HAHaHaHa! That's great! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who obsesses about the poop! I'm not really sure where it's coming from for me; a need for the illusion of control over something? The disgust of stepping in all the messy, stinky presents they leave? A reason to be outside for...

    I'm the queen of poop mountain!

    Lol! Yeah, I'd say more chickens would help me get over my obsessive compulsive pooper scooping. Nothing's really manicured around here, but I'm worried that the UPS man will drop our packages in poop. Plus, it's nice for my son to have a bit of unpooped on surfaces if he wanted to play lol. I...

    I'm the queen of poop mountain!

    Hahahaha!! I love Mt Vapoopious! My dog also views the chickens as lucky treat dispensers. Blaughkk! I want to do the deep litter method, but I'm not sure it would be possible with the coop I have now. This thing is more like a prefab rabbit hutch, but was marketed for chickens as well. It's...

    I'm the queen of poop mountain!

    I haven't been interacting on BYC like I intended when I joined. Instead, I search for answers to questions and seek out silent support for any chicken issues which may pop up. But as winter drags on, and my one-sided chicken conversations dangle on the edge of sanity, between reverence and...

    Hen laying eggs in burn barrel!! What's up with that?!

    Hahah!! Oh that would be so awful! Thank goodness we need a new barrel otherwise we may have done some burning this weekend... That's it, 'Fat Cat Syndrome'! That cat would have gotten in the barrel too if he'd gotten the chance. He's very jealous of Mrs. Mcnugget, especially since she's taken...

    Hen laying eggs in burn barrel!! What's up with that?!

    Haha! I know! He is confused! I'm glad to hear she'll go back to laying in the coop. Thank you! I was getting worried ☺ I do love my Mrs.

    Hen laying eggs in burn barrel!! What's up with that?!

    Oh my! Hahaha! I hope that's not what she's doing! Goodness... So, I meant to post this yesterday, so today is day four and we found another egg in the barrel. But I've had a revelation just now! Mrs. Mcnugget was hanging out with me the other day and my old indoor/outdoor cat came over to get...

    Hen laying eggs in burn barrel!! What's up with that?!

    My adopted stray hen, Mrs. Mcnugget, has been a faithful layer since she began laying for me at the end of August. She started laying in the nest we put in the cat carrier she slept in, and when her coop came she laid in the nest box first time, she's very clever. We got another chicken for her...

    Gingerbread's first egg!

    I'm very proud to announce that my new girl Gingerbread laid her very first egg yesterday morning! We still have her separate in her own cage because we haven't got the run and coop totally situated, so, she sleeps in her kennel and Mrs. Mcnugget sleeps in the coop right next to it. These are...

    Thank you!

    What breed is my pullet?

    Wow! Thank you! She landed on the patio this morning to nibble on the seeds we put down for her... Haven't seen her drink yet, but we have fresh water of varying depths all around our house for the birds, that gets refreshed several times a day. So, hopefully she's found some. She's very shy. :D

    What breed is my pullet?

    :D Hahaha! That's really cool! I don't know what to do with pigeons. My mom has been a wild birder for years feeding everyone, through all the seasons and migrations. I managed to absorb a lot if wild bird knowledge through her. We've never been pet bird people though because we've always had...

    What breed is my pullet?

    Yes, he does. We live in a rural "neighborhood" where most everyone has three or more acres. Fancy-Pants (that's what we call him) has been coming around for over a year. His crew started coming before he showed up though. When the neighborhood flock first showed up there were six or seven hens...

    What breed is my pullet?

    Oh wow! Thanks! Yes, my son talks to our new chickens every time he comes outside. He chases off the harassing rooster when he comes strutting in to stake his claim on my girls. I caught that "Mr. Fancy-Pants" strutting around my Gingerbread's cage yesterday and that girl was in a panic! That...
