I have found a gold mine!

Not that it does me any good however..

I have been outside fixing up the yard. Got Spring fever real bad, and have had a hard time reminding myself its only the beginning of February- still tons of snow to come. 

I started to push a haybale closer to the coop- I have them stacked all around the outside, and this particular bale was somewhat kittycornered instead of straight- on the outside corner of the coop..and I happened to see the top of one of my polish, down between the bales, so I left it alone. Once she left, i checked the spot- 

[COLOR=FF0000]SEVENTEEN EGGS IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  [/COLOR]


I threw them all out- no telling how old they were, and they are all Polish- so I guess they are all from her. However, I now know where to check for eggs. Goofy bird- go outside the coop, outside the lean-to, up a mountain then drop down to lay your eggs. 

I also saw TWO flies out there flying around. In February. Strange strange weather we have had. 

If your polish are act anything like my leghorns, they'll find a different hidey-hole now that you've found that one.

Wow! Thanks for the warm welcome! I've been lurking around for a while and in the meantime had a chick of my own. She delayed our chicken hopes for a while and now we're back on track. I can't wait to see her playing with the chickens when shes older. We still keep going back and forth on what size building to go with, but it will be big enough for at least 150 birds total. Our layers will be mostly Isa Browns and California grey leghorns, and I'll toss a few others in for variety. I would still love input from you all on where to get cheap feed. And an explaination of chicken laws in layman's terms would be great too. I haven't checked in for a while and now theres more than 30 pages to read! I guess this will be a new part of my daily routine!

A chick of my own! Our Hayley! 13 weeks already!

Congrats on the new babies, human and animal!! Lil Hayley is adorable!!

Lil lamb is adorable, too. Nothing like babies.....
Beautiful day. Was out with my chickens for a couple of hours. They had a blast dust bathing and sun bathing.
Mom, there's never a dull moment at your house!!
Un-named...I'm selfish, I'm keeping the sun over here. We don't see it much. Someone else must have had mercy on you and sent you some.
Hope you all had a chance to enjoy this beautiful weather!!!

Somehow I ended up following Chickmate and Yorkchick...

they are pretty sneaky though, and end up losing me quite a bit..

For the heck of it, I tried following YOU, but it said I had to verify my email or something like that. Oh well. Not sure how to do that and don't want to anyway.
So what do you see when you follow
Chickmate & Yorkchick?

I forgot to say WELCOME!!
