My girls still seem confused, just walking in circles. They do not know whare the doors are, or getting out. That is until I brought them breakfast. I gave to fix up the old pen for the new girls. Then to work on the egg door and a ramp to the new coop. To night a second coat of paint on the inside. Right now I am not worrying about neatness. When I wash out the coop I will touch it up in the future. After all I do not want to run out of projects?

My list, 1) clean up the yard, 2) finish the chicken pen, 3) paint the shed, clean it out & insulate, install window 4) make a bee hive supper 5) cover the garden, 6) put up permanent fencing around garden, 7) semi close in patio, 8) make a bed frame, 9) assemble greenhouse. That should keep me busy. Oh, one other thing, 10) find a boyfriend that loves to fish and build things and chickens No. 10 is the hard one, or impossible.

I wonder just how long before they use the new coop. When I have my hand back I am going to take apart the old coop, fix it and put it back to gather. Knowing me I will never run short of projects.

The coop looks great!! It's such hard work, but when it's all done, it's so worth it, isn't it?! You know, it always seems to taken them 2-3 days to get used to big changes. That's been the case with ours anyway. Luckily, ours were happy to go into the new coop. They had been watching us build it and were constantly checking it out during their free range. They would sit on the rafters during construction. They seemed to understand what we were doing and that it was for them. So they were very eager to move in once it was done. BUT it did take them 2-3 days to get used to the new roost. They would sit on the very edge of the door half in the roost, half on the ramp. They go completely inside now, no problem. But it took them a few days.

Great job though, and good luck on your to do (possibly future honey do) list.

Now that's a pretty cool idea! I'm assuming it's a turkey egg, or what would be large enough? I haven't seen or eaten turkey egg. It's definitely too big for a normal chicken egg!
It just looks large due to the angle of the camera... Just a regular chicken egg or duck egg. The chef used a cigar cutter to cut the top off.

I would love a honey do list, unfortunately, you have to have a honey to do. It has been so long, for about 15 years I was off the market, taking care of mother, talking care of adult daughter and grand kids. . . . Now, I do not want to take care of any one, let a lone a uselessman. Now a honey do man, that is different. Spoiling a man like that would be worth in investment. I treat my men like dogs, and you know how dogs are treated to day. Back massages, home made pasta, a few treats, take him for walks, a little honey :love , and a now and then let him out with the boys to play.

My last I couldn't get rid of :barnie, until his new girlfriend came cover and threatened me (6' & 280-300#), the ordered him back in the van, she would deal with him (6'2" & 185#) later she said. :lau
:gig I still get a smile when I think of it. :) , I bet he is a honey do now ( with out the honey) :lol:

Hi guys! A couple questions
The other day I got 5 eggs from my girls, I have 4 that are definately laying and then I have my younger ones that I don't think are ready, the day before one of the girls gave me an egg late in the afternoon then the very next morning I had 5, I cannot figure it out! Mind boggling for sure, does that happen sometimes?
Next, I have a hen that sounds like she's sneezing? Should I be concerned? I pay close attention to what they look like, they all have beautiful healthy feathers, no problem with their eggs etc.
Last but maybe the most important is that it is getting very hot in the valley of the sun, my coup is large and we put it together with stuff we had around the property, bought a little material but not much. I should post a picture, anyway I have hung burlap on the sides to water down it is working like a swamp cooler and cools it off for a minute, it drys fast. My husband suggested a sprinkler for a minute either in there or next to it? But the ground in the coup gets wet, on my girls get sprinkled on, is this good for them or should I do something else?
Any advice would be great!
 
Wow! Ok I'm on my iPad and its much more difficult than my laptop! Sorry to those I have sent ovations to with add on comments about things, I'm so confused! Haha
