I grew up in P'gould, and college at ASU, so I know exactly where you are. But I am now in NLR, and I just got my 1st cuckoo eggs yesterday, and they just went into the incubator. Good luck.

Lost track of a Leghorn tonight. She wasn't on the roost.
Looked and didn't see her. Those naughty light hens escape frequently though, she'll probably show up in the daylight....


*opens the doghouse to check on baby chicks*

"lost" Leghorn is in with the babies! She was sitting off to the side, and the 3 little ones were under the lamp. No one looked henpecked so I assume she's been decent towards the babies. Who knows how long she's been in there!

HOW she got in there is a really big question???? That coop has deterred every predator so far (save for my own slacking), and a lousy chicken finds a way in???????? What in the world? I didn't see her legband coz she was sitting on her feet, but I'm gonna bet my money that it's Houdini. Houdini is the master at getting out (and apparently INTO) ..... basically at getting anywhere she's not supposed to be.

One of the Leghorns jumped up on the edge of the doghouse when I had the roof open this morning, but I KNOW I put her back on the ground and shut the lid...........

lol

My grandmother lives not a minute from Galloway! And my mother not 5 minutes from her. My parents are barely in city limits. I learned to drive out in Scott where the only thing I could hit was dirt

Howdy neighbor! I live in Cove. Been here almost a year. My baby girls are 9 weeks old..doing nicely in the hen house with their guy, Roody! I let them out into the run yesterday for the first time since it was so nice and warm. Roody went first checked it out and, I guess gave the OK to the girls and they slowly came out one by one. Anyway...love living in Cove, Arkansas! Great place...population a little less than 300.

jnkir!

Haha Tala that's not quite what I expected to read! I was wondering how the chicks were doing and your story is hilarious.

Yesterday was a full on, moving the chick teens out of the house, but I gotta clean the whole coop to do it kinda day. I was very, very proud of myself when I had finished. The chick teens couldn't be happier! The two I have left in the house are so rotten it's funny. They literally yell for us to stop and pick them up when passing the brooder.

A funny...I thought my EE had just slammed the doors and stopped laying for a little bit. Just one day, nothing! Well, while cleaning the coop yesterday, I found a big beautiful blue nest full of 10 EE eggs behind the door on the other side of the split coop. Talk about pretty! I grabbed them up and put them in a fresh nest where my buff orpingtons lay and I'm really hoping that one of those girls takes a sit.

If ever I needed a broody, now it is.
