Granny, you have THE most interesting stories. I need to tune into this thread more often!

So what are you going to do about that door? And of course the eggs are way more important than that old door!! I mean coyotes can come prowling in, raccoons having chicken parties, but what about those EGGS!!

I will be waiting to hear the rest of this story....

got the door back up !!

that was really hard. i was holding it up with my foot and trying to line it up in the right place while my husband who only has use of one arm was holding a hammer. suddenly 10 penny nails looked a lot bigger then they are. lol the 3in. screws wouldnt go even with predrilling a hole. feels like little leprechauns are dancing on my back. heres the thing , i normally get 3 eggs a day, today i got six. 3 from today and 3 from yesterday, except, when the door broke i had an egg in my hand. thats 7

And the egg in your hand never broke?

Good job! I've I lived in your town, I would have gladly come and helped you out!

That's what chicken buddies are for!!

Good job Granny! Maybe you got more eggs today because the lack of a door scared the eggs right out of the hens!

but how do you get 4 eggs out of 3 hens? i know they didnt get out. lol i have an old hen in there that has never laid for me. she was old when i got her. so maybe it scared one out of her? hahahhaha

Yep...that's what happened!

i think the hens in my coop have found a use for Spazz after all. they have been hanging with him and he is ignoring them. i gave him a big dog igloo and the hens have decided they will use it. i cant reach the eggs in there. they have been hanging in there through the day and come bedtime they chase him in there and he is sleeping on the eggs. REALLY ??
