Maybe you could put a pillow on the floor under her spot on the roost.

Then I could clean poop off the pillow too

And what a beautiful first egg it is! Way to go Big Bird!! My hens did that too at first. Layer off the roost. Does she have a nest?

She has a nest, but as I assumed.....she didn't use it . Leaned plywood and filled it with shavings.....but no, we'll drop it in poop lol.

Got my first Big Bird egg today - it was directly under the roost on a big turd so I had to wash it to take a picture lol. Hopefully she figures out that there is a spot to park them so that they don't crack on landing

YAY! Congratulations! It's definitely a very pretty egg I still find eggs on the roost. I think it's one girl in particular, I just haven't figured out who.

I took some pictures of Pebbles tonight and dug the extra eggs out from under her. I must've got her all wound up with the flash from the camera. She really puffed up, was hissing at me and she did peck me twice but not hard. I spent a few minutes talking to get and petting her after I put her eggs back to calm her down and let her know I meant no harm. She settled down them and went back into her trance. No pips yet on any of her eggs and no peeping from inside. They still have another day or two until they're due though.

Pebbles' photo shoot!


First pic, she didn't know what was going on



Starting to puff up and hiss. She did NOT like the flash



Just got done checking her eggs. She's none too happy.



Looking to make sure that I don't have anymore of her eggs lol

Great picture Aurora! Love how she's doing a quick check to make sure your not stealing anything. Her feathers are really pretty with the flash!

She quite the smarty pants!

I love taking pictures of her because of her feathers. I think she's so stunning when they reflect the light

Put an ad up on craigslist for unwanted male chicks for snake feed. It seems harsh but it would be cheaper than raising them up for your own food. I think I have 4 people on standby waiting on chicks for their snakes.

Please let them use rodents...

Chaos....would love pictures of your new turkeys

Bright and sunny day here. yipee
