How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

3/11 today. I think I angered them by stripping the whole coop yesterday to treat for mites and now they're on strike. I found the remains of one egg on the poop board this morning. WTG girls, I think you missed. ;) The storm today probably didn't help either.

I gave them a pep talk about how I expect more from them and how we're all going to try to be a little bit better tomorrow. I tried to get high fives to seal the deal (high wing?) but they ran away from me.

:( No team spirit.

In other, more serious news, my littlest Ancona girl Ophelia (24 weeks old) was exploring the nesting box. Hopefully I'll see her first eggs in the next couple of days.

5 today. I picked up 5 white leghorn pullet chicks & 3 Astrolorp pullet chicks yesterday. The leghorns will be my only white egg layers. The store said they will get some cuckoo Marans in in March, so I will get some of those then if I haven't found anyone with fertilized Marans' eggs before then. Then I think my colorful egg basket will be complete.
