I was talking to the person giving me some physical therapy about her refrigerator.  It was a nice three door LG that had everything but a tv and kitchen sink;  Really nice and she loved it until a part went bad.  No problem just call the repair man.  Fridge fixed under warranty everything was fine for about six weeks and the fridge quit again.  Call repairman he comes out said  it is the same part that he had replaced.  So ok fix it.  Well okay but no parts in the US it would have to come from Germany.  Well how long will that be.  Approximately 3 months.  That's all okay because IT STILL IS UNDER WARRANTY,  What ever happened to the appliances our parents bought that lasted 20 years???

My uncle bought an lg fridge andhad trouble with it. My wife went through several lg phones, all under warranty. We wont buy lg products anymore they dont seem to hold up. We have had very good luck with Samsung.

Is that Penelope? Glad to hear he's doing well.

Any ideas on how to get my girls to NOT lay on the coop floor or on the roost? I keep finding broken eggs because they're not laying in the boxes I think it's mostly my pullets.

Have you tried leaving golf balls in the nests? Mine may lay a stray egg or two when they 1st start. I think the whole process may catch them off guard in the beginning, but I've never had an issue once they get used to it. They sell fake ceramic eggs or you could also make a cement one with a funnel & a balloon (hang it to dry to get the egg-shape). I don't think the plastic Easter eggs would work unless you fill them with something to add weight.

Be careful with having cracked eggs around. If the chickens learn that they lay delicious eggs, they might start to eat their eggs instead of you.

I got six eggs today and dropped one! I hate it when that happens!

I have a couple Marans that started laying again and my EE layed an egg today! She's been on hiatus for months! She's one of my original hens. Such a good girl! Been browsing CL the last couple of days looking for lumber. Pallets! Anything to work with for building my breeding pens come Spring. My plans are to have 8 total. 2 for BCM, 1 Silkie, 1 bantam Cochins, 1 Golden Cuckoo Marans, 1 Blue Copper Marans, 1 RIR and 1 Olive Egger. I'm super pumped!

Anyone here. I'm interested in acquiring a Salmon Faverolles Roo and some Wheaton and Blue Wheaton Ameracaunas. I was so wanting the AMs but the small batch of eggs I had shipped didn't hatch. Now I want them Bad! Lol!
