Just wanted to get back to the thread and let everyone know that both of my "girls" are doing great (my Barred Rock laid 3 eggs this first week, none yet from the roaming EE, though). Thank you all for your good wishes!!
They LOVE the tractor coop (thank you, thank you thank you!!!!) EE has been shy all week, but once she saw the coop, she walked right in, as if to say "now THIS is what I have been waiting for!!!!"
Couldn't get to Merrimack today, but am hoping that someone in Westford tomorrow will have another laying EE and Silkie for me to buy.
I haven't found any threads for them, just hints that it "exists". When I looked up the organization, it looked like it was for all sorts of birds and fowl. Anybody know anything?--Gail
