The husband helped me with making a new ramp and we even stained it to match the coop. We also made a new waterer out of pvc pipe and cup waterer things
It's been a busy week here and my girls despite the beautiful weather have been in the coop. This weekend I'm getting a large dog kennel for their run so they'll be a lot happier.
I cleaned the coop yesterday and filled the base with sand. I'm hoping this makes getting poop out easier and cuts down on mud. It's a beautiful day here already but the girls won't come out until I'm home tonight
It's gorgeous here on Sunday morning so the girls came out bright and early. I ate my breakfast and drank coffee while I watched them scratch. They've weeded and even loosened soil everywhere I'd like to plant flowers so that's cool. I'm starting to wonder their pecking order as they've all been...

The girls have been each laying almost daily, giving us 6-7 eggs a day! I'd say they're pretty happy. I'm learning their personalities. Ginger my buff Orpington is mouthy and bossy. Mrs Henny Penny my pretty EE is fun to watch. Yesterday Lucy, my welsummer, scared me. She decided to take a mid...
Yesterday Monday we got 5 eggs and it stormed. Today is Tuesday. The girls laid 5 eggs and they're free ranging for the first time in my yard. They loved it!
Hey y'all! I'm Nikki, I live in northern Ohio. I'm new here on BYC but I feel right at home. We've had some chicken happenings here. First we had 3 chicks and Kylie my black lab made a snack of them at 4 weeks old. Still so sad but hey she's a bird dog.
So on to our little happenings at the...
