Hi, joined looking for answer.

I quickly cleaned out another small building that I have on the property and the 4 fellows are in there. This morning I need to figure out where to put the rototiller and the gas generator. First morning in a couple of months that we woke up to roosters crowing. Kind of funny..

Oh the things we do for our feathered friends! We had a friend from Sydney stay on the weekend. He said he loved being woken up by the roosters crowing. He said it felt and smelt like the country.

I got called into work very early this morning (4am), so I didn't get a chance to check on the chickens until now (6pm). Sue laid an egg! It is actually an beige-ish coloured egg and she had been laying something more darker brown. Is that normal? She is still nestling down with all her chicks so I assume everything is cool for her.

It all sounds very normal to me. Sue certainly is a survivor. Egg colour varies from time to time, so long as texture of the shell is good nothing to worry about there.

I had the egg with some bacon and homemade toast this morning. Tasted delicious! Anyway, I finally have a couple of days off so it is time to clean some coops and construct some boxes and roosts. The kids will help with these tasks making them take longer but more enjoyable .If it turns out ok I will post a pic or 2.

Hope you do post pics... nice ending... nedd lots of pics of everyone....

I will try and get some pics and post them soon. I was supposed to have a couple of weeks off but instead got roped into doing just enough shifts to completely ruin it. Also whitetail deer archery season opens tomorrow here in nova scotia and for me that generally makes the wife a widow for a month or two. lol!

Oooh you are an archer too!! Maybe you can answer a few questions for me off topic of chickens? In NS I saw in the regs that they state "One Deer" In some regions....does that mean doe or buck or strictly a buck? Im up in Colchester.

I cant wait, I just got me a new bow and I cant wait to try it out!!

I am not sure what zone that you would be in but here on the south shore (zone 102) it is any sex deer for the archery season which includes crossbow and muzzle loader and one any sex deer for the general season. I think Colchester is in zone 107 which also has the either sex deer rules this year. But you should double check with your local DNR office. Hope that was helpful.

Its sooo vague isnt it? Your probably right, I'll have to give them a ring. Anyhow, I own some good land where I can put up a blind and an apple tree to bring them in hehehe. I dont trophy, just meat hunt. I hope its either sex this year.
