I have found these cute little raised "garden" boxes on Pinterest that I want to try to get more grass in my coop. This is the photo I found. It seems like a great way to get vegetation in the coop while protecting the roots enough to grow!

I've seen that idea too, but so far haven't constructed anything that sturdy or big. I tried a raised screen that had been inside an aquarium,but without support on all 4 sides it isn't doing anything. Plus, it's only as big as the bottom of a 10 gallon aquarium.

9 eggs yesterday for 18 hens. Easter Eggers are starting to lay at the six month mark, as people here said they would. I got a dozen two days ago.

Since this is not entirely a hobby-and expenses are around $50/month- I've been running a light to allow for 14 hrs of light/day. Hopefully it will pay off-or else there will be more homemade mayonnaise, creamy salad dressing and mushroom quiche than my family knows what to do with.

I haven't tried my hand at making homemade mayonnaise yet. Do you have a good recipe that you'd be willing to share?

No, not a lot of hens will lay every day. Some will go great for 4 or 5 days and then take a day off. Others will lay every other day their entire lives. Usually when a chicken just starts laying, it takes them a while to get into the routine. A lot of mine, when just starting, would lay every 3rd day. Then when they got the hang of it, or just got older, they would lay almost every day.


6 eggs today.

We had a light freeze last night, so today I harvested all of the green peppers still growing in my garden. I was telling my daughter that I brought in 21 green peppers! And already had a large bowl of them on the counter. She said I should try to sell them to my "Chicken Friends" and tell them that they are special chicken eggs! LOL!
