BC, maybe I said this already... But you might be able to get your booty and stay put if you put food and water as close as possible if not right in the nest box with her

Food would be possible but not water, my coop isn't heated beside a single heat light in case they need it. Plus I think other girls like to sit right with her, trick her to sitting on additional eggs which is when she leaves the box. I had to pencil numbers on the eggs to know which ones the original 5 (4) are.

Don't you want to build when there is still some frost? That way the ground is hard so the big machinery wont sink into the soil. Also, they dig until the ground is frost free, then dig a few more feet, and they know that they dug a good solid foundation with the 'roots' of the foundation below your frost line.

Important.


Anyway, @Amberjem I LOVE your chick rainbow! Gotta say, I really want a gray/blue chicken

don't have one. We picked out one EE from the PULLET bin last spring that was close to gray/blue..... grew into a really great color, totally different from any other chicken we had..... BUT it of course turned into a ROO!!

Sad, sad.....

Ah well.
