After waiting weeks for your first egg, you leave for a weekend and your neighbor collects your first egg the day you leave.

After spending weeks and $$ the new winter coop is finished. But now your getting ZERO eggs. Why do I countinue to feed them??

My most recent... Enjoyed a 100% hatch on only 4 eggs.

Set 9 eggs expecting the same. Tossed 8 of them on day 7... no good. Looks like I'll have a pet lap chick for a week while waiting on more chicks!

The surest way to make it rain/snow/hail etc for days on end is to begin building a new coop. Our newest is currently sitting with three walls and a tarp for a roof. Of course there is a 60% chance for rain/snow this saturday.
