I'm waiting to hear from or rental agent now. He said we can go view the house today and I'm anxious to see the available space outside. The requirements for rental houses are quite a list, so it's almost a given that the house itself would be fine. I'm more interested in the garden!
I'm curious to see how the older eggs do. It's always nice to have records of people's experiences when you tell people what to do, or not. Though there are some experiments, like hatching eggs after deworming, that I'll rather skip! Talking about deworming, we ate the eggs. I had to deworm my flock with an ostrich dewormer as it was the only one available where I lived and we ate the eggs afterwards. Didn't have any ill effects on us and we didn't have any worm problems eitherYou can also cook them and feed them back to the hens if you want.
How funny! That's exciting about the New rental. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that there is room for lots of romping!
It's so funny because my mom in law was here helping me unload and set up my kitchen an hour before dark during the move when I realized that I had to set up the coop for the chickens. I went tearing outside to set it up before I was to go pick up my chickens. She laughed to my husband and said "To most women, the kitchen is the most important thing to get together first, she must love those chickens."
