No peeping from the eggs under Mari. How long do you usually go past the due date before removing them from under a hen? I don't want to remove them too early. Thanks.

Sherwin Willaims finally got another gallon of the base I needed to finish painting the new coop. I painted all day yesterday and was almost finished when the sand started blowing and blowing all over the wet paint! Textured paint job, anyone? *sigh*

They say that egg's can take up to 3 day's past due date to hatch, and if they haven't by then, then pitch them. Didn't you say that the other hen was laying egg's in the nest too before?

Yes, she will sit partway on top of Mari and lay an egg that way instead of using the other, identical nest.

I'm sure glad that human's having babies don't do it like that, aren't you?

The nurses might not like that too much. And what if they got the babies mixed up?

I hope everyone had a good 4th of July! For me, Independence Day has a new twist. I'm relocating to Georgia on my own. While I would love nothing more than to take my precious flock with me, I don't know how to safely transport approximately 20 chickens in this heat. I would be grateful to re-home to someone who appreciates chickens as much as I do. I have 5 roos and the rest are laying hens. They are free range and a mix of RIR, Buff, Sussex, Brahma, Leghorn and I believe one of my hens may be Australorp. I'm not sophisticated about breeding (or awareness of breed frankly), just love them as pets and egg layers. None of the roos fight, but with so many I've begun to see an issue with over-mating. A few of my ladies have missing feathers on their backs. :-( Advice or offer for new home(s) would be much appreciated!
