    That looks all too familiar! Our enclosure collapsed in early December under our first heavy snow and freezing rain: So we threw together a "temporary" shelter using a porch swing frame and tarps: Our six girls lived in there for six weeks before we had a coop ready for them.

    Yesterday morning my husband was tending to the chickens when three teenage boys started to walk into the area where our coop is! As soon as they saw him they turned around and nonchalantly walked out of our yard and through our neighbor's back yard. I can't wait to get my fencing up - to...

    When my mother and I used to collect Barbies we knew what stores to go to and which not to bother with because their stockers would intentionally damage the Barbie boxes while unpacking them. *cough*Toys-R-Us*cough*

    This would be the first time. It has been two days so I'm not feeling very hopeful.

    One of our BAs disappeared yesterday afternoon and was still missing when I came to work this afternoon. Also, while searching for her this afternoon I caught one of our EEs trying to eat an egg that she had just laid! I saw her laying it, came back moments later to find it broken and her...

    I saved our first egg, blew it out, let it dry, and coated it inside with watered down ModPodge. I'm going to paint it gold and keep it for a Christmas tree ornament.

    Mother2Hens: Maybe instead of painting it you could adopt some chickens that already have those names. lol If I'd kept that rooster I could have named him "The Situation".

    leslea: The Jersey Shore theme is funny. Are you going to paint it? Yeah, when it gets warm enough I will be repainting it, but haven't decided on a color yet. I need to do something with the roof too, it's currently just painted wood, I think I should put shingles on it or something. I'm...

    Over the weekend I found what I think was someone's attempt at an egg... Coming out of one end was what looked like albumen. Here's the new-used coop: The previous owner was a teenage boy who named several of his hens after Jersey Shore characters, hence the Snooki and J-Wow painted on it.

    I also enjoyed some time out with my girls today and I actually managed to get four of the six in the "tent" before leaving for work this evening. (Usually the four EEs want to roost in the tree so I can only get the two BAs in the tent for the night.) I am concerned about the other two, but...
