EE=Easter Eggers -- they are a mixed breed (usually ameraucana/araucana cross) that can lay blue, green, tan, brown, pink eggs .. they are bred for egg color ..

So, for the time being, I screwed two 2x4's together and pushed them into the corner of the porch .. and threw some shavings in it ...

Yesterday, they layed in it ..

Today .. I shall have my camera ..

DH is telling all the guys at work that our chickens are TRAINED to deliver the eggs to our door ..

I still want to put a planter next to it with edible plants .. but for now, I left the plant that was there .. no since freaking them completely out, ya know??

Ooooooooh .. that would be lovely, huh?

Here's a pic of mine when they were smaller in my kale. I let them have the plants after I was done with it for the summer:

I vote for kale - my chickens LOVE it, and the best thing about it is that is overwinters. I'm in CO and still get kale salads throughout the winter.

Do you have cats that might mistake the nest box for a litter pan?
