I'm very pleased this morning and DH doesn't really understand why.
All of my rescue meatie pullets are laying now. I was getting an egg here and there, but they are all laying now. One even lays an egg with pretty speckles, but that's not what I'm smiling about.
I'm smiling because they are all using their nestbox to lay in. One even really gets into the whole process - taking her time, fluffing the hay just so and clucking happily the whole time.
It's the world's biggest nestbox (a dog crate that would fit a cocker spaniel), but at least they are using it.
Silly thing to be happy about, but I'll take my smiles where I can get them.
