Kat’s Journey into Chicken Keeping

[BY Bob]

Do you think I should put a fake egg in the boxes so they know what the boxes are for?

It can help. It certainly won't hurt.

So, I did it. I bought ceramic eggs to put in the nest boxes. The girls were fascinated. They were wondering what on earth we put in their nests!

I just love their curiosity? Isn't it so cute! They are a wonderful looking flock. Such pretty ladies.

That is hilarious! I hope it works for you.

I think the ceramic eggs were not welcome. This morning I found them kicked out of the nest, along with most of the nice soft hay I had put in there.
I hope this isn’t an indication of the kind of mothers they will be. Lol.

Put them back. It had nothing to do with the eggs. They were scratching to see if there is food. Mine do that. I just put the eggs back.

Did you ever find out who moved your blue egg, @BY Bob?

This is Princess Chicken, named by our veterinarian.
And that face photobombing in the background is her best friend Gracie.
Princess is my house chicken now, because she has a lame leg.
Just wondering if I should trim her beak? She’s developing an overbite! Lol
