That's even better, LOL! Well, I do have 3 RIR that look like they are not too far off, so hopefully a few eggs from someone soon. No one's squatting yet, tested them all last night!

"tested them all last night !" ... I thought I was the only one out there trying to dominate my girls .. my husband keeps telling me to leave them alone . But I just have to know if they are close .... I am however a bit of a control freak ...
