Did Ned ask for a urinal?

All the world is his urinal including any eggs laid in his bed. What a mess!

Very nice! Looks like it may get several customers.
You had a lot more success than I did on coop improvement this week. Today I got help undermining the foundation of my step.
Thank you ladies!

But I think I get the last laugh because I created a ‘fake wall’ so they could undermine that foundation and not mess with my step.
Fingers crossed that my ruse worked!
And now just because she is cute, here is Minnie inspecting construction from the top of her ladder.

Look at you, outsmarting chickens! Your high school guidance councilor would be so proud.

"Frankly, I never thought she would achieve this level of success. I mean outsmarting a dog, sure I could've seen that. You know, fake throwing a ball and all that. But 3 chickens, Wow! With a fake wall too. Very clever, very clever. That's quite an achievement. We are all very proud here, very proud indeed. Maybe she will win a Backyard Chickens award or something and we can add it to our trophy case!"

Sorry Bob but I knew that was going to happen! It popped into my mind the second I saw it.Just didn't want to jinx your lovely box by saying so. And let her lay underneath, she know best!

What an amazing little chicken! Even more amazing is the way you have been able to observe this behavior.

She's the third hen I've had here that doesn't lay eggs.

I don't care if she lays underneath. At least she is back in the run complex and now out if the rain, sort of. Sansa laid in one of the old nest boxes today.

I am thrilled they are both out of the brush pile and the wood pile and back somewhere safe. Something has eaten a couple of eggs in both the brush pile and the wood pile. I need to go ahead and burn all of that brush up to discourage whatever it is from coming around.
