I am here! THough, I might be leaving to go eat with my son and parents now. Be back in about an hour though. (Still trying to convince the pops to start the coop) Wish me luck on that! lol
 
I'm bored. Can't wait until my brothers go to bed so I can have my Phish Food in peace.

Good Luck. Isn't it frustrating when you want to get something done and just can't? I have to make a run for my bantam coop and just haven't got around to it. So many projects going at the same time. Spring is a busy time trying to get gardens and yards in shape.
2nd egg has hatched and another is pipping!! Shelley, where are you???????? Most of you don't know, Shelleyb has given me her eggs for my broodys to hatch since her bator is full.

I have a question... I just recently built a run for my chickens. Prior to that they were pretty much confined to a large cage and allowed to free range in the yard for about an hour every evening. Now I let them out in the run every morning (6am) and put them up every evening (8pm). Since they;ve had the run I have noticed thatthey have eaten significantly less feed. I used to have to fill their feeder(12 lb) every few days. But now I haven't had to fill it once since they've been out. Like a little over a week. They still have about 4 lbs. in it now, Is this normal, or should I be worried? Thought I would ask here on this thread along with posting on "Managing Your Flock", since I get ignored on there sometimes.

They are probably scratching around and finding goodies. Mine eat less feed when they go out. I've had to be careful past few weeks because we don't have the run done yet. I've got hawks nesting in the trees in back of our house, and they WANT those chickens.
