Coop Project: Maken the Plunge & Getting Chickens

[Rock Home Isle]

It was too cool not to share with others.

As evening approached another doe came to visit. She brought her two little fawns.

I like to see the fawns when they are in their spots...

We had a great weekend...

...and a wonderful anniversary.

Enjoy.

That is amazing! Couldn't ask for a better anniversary present! Happy anniversary!

I've had my little flock of Welsummers for 5 months, and finally......someone is laying.

Emphasis on " Finally..."

Nice color.....but 5 months is early for Wellies, count your blessings.

Here's a "What the Heck" moment...

I go out to collect eggs and one of the girls starts talking to me from inside the coop. So I go around and open the side door.


...just how long have they been laying eggs here?

Seriously?

 

[GardenNut]

That's what I call a stash!

 

[Rock Home Isle]

Yeah it was quite a stash. I've been wondering when these Welsummers were going to start laying....I just never thought they'd be hiding their eggs.

I don't know how long they've been taking turns sitting on the eggs but it kills me....2 dozen eggs wasted....DANG!!!

OMG!!! I'm constantly on patrol in case the Brown Leghorns decide to go "rogue"
