Well we candled the remaining eggs in the incubator today, set to go into lock down tomorrow night. We couldn't see anything but darkness, guess that's a good sign though.

Good luck guys!

I am so hoping today when I get home that my new hen has laid me an egg. I can't stop thinking about it. I wish I could leave work and head home to keep an eye on her today. If it's not eaten or broken (by my husband or kids) I'll be posting a picture tonight. She's such a pretty EE. She is scared to death of me though. Not sure how we're going to over come that.

Fuzzybird,

we got the pet quality serama hen (she was in with a nice looking roo). The two PQ Seramas were in together in a pen on the floor, next to another pen with two show quality seramas. Our hen was from Rachel in Douglas, AZ I believe? Is Rachel on here I wonder? She is lovely, but also very wild...we are hoping she calms down !!

The other new hens are enjoying their treats and and adapting well!

Oh I never saw the hen. My hubby sure wanted that little roo tho. LOL

My fluffbombs like their Vitamin C almost as much as I do =D

Oh Arpy, They are so wonderfully cute. I so love my Fuzzies!!

Pictures of the coop. Girls moved in Saturday after I got home from the Poultry Show. New hen moved in Sunday.
You can see the un-painted 2x2's on the top of the run. The run has hinges on the roof so that they can be opened, the unpainted 2x2s are also on hinges and swing open when you open the lid to become the support beams. I'll have to get pictures of it open. there are 3 roosts in the run for the girls to perch during the day if they'd like. They are mostly meant as structural support bars.

First night in hen house the 5 week old girls enjoyed the roost

Treats, lots of treats.

Treats, lots of treats.

Tried Strawberries yesterday. She didn't want any part of it. What other kind of appealing treats? Should I not feed her out of a bowl and only offer hand fed food, if so, how much? how often?

Good afternoon!

I am just popping in to remind everyone about the Easter Hatch!

If you all decide to join, pop in and say I recruited you. I may win a pair of pretty pink panties to fly from my minivan antenna!
