    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    While I have not quite tried coloring easter eggs AT the chicken yet :P, coloring each chicken a different color lets you see who laid the egg by what color the designs on the egg are. I will say though that the day I ever DO get a multi colored egg, will have been a VERY interesting day in...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Hmm that's odd because most the time when I clean the coop they are not stressed, in fact often getting swatted to get out of the way and stop picking through what I just dug through :P Even if one or so is laying, they for the most part ignore me, which is good I'm thinking. Aaron

    4 for 4 after several 3 banger days. Not sure if it's a genuine 3 banger or if one was hiding eggs somewhere on me since I was letting them free range pretty much all last week. Caught her once, trying to break that habit real fast. Aaron

    Thats almost as good as putting 2 eggs in your coat pocket, feeding the girls then hopping in the car to goto work. Getting there, being told, meeting in a few minutes, goto meeting, get hot, take OFF jacket and put it on seat and lean back on it. About 5 minutes later, what the HELL is that...

    Can you throw some straw or something at the bottom of the ramp so when the egg goes clunk it does not crack or is it getting trashed on the step.. lumps?? Or maybe put some straw on the steps to soften the kabump bump on the way down? Aaron
