Hello. I'm looking for someone from Omaha who would be interested in answering a few questions about their chickens for a report I'm doing. Let me know if you're interested!

HappyDad, I'm in Murray ..... I don't have have a Google login ...... not getting one either .....

I lived in Murray for 10 years before moving to our current home. I used to laugh seeing Stan's chickens in the tree at the post office there.

Our girls finally started laying last week, and yesterday one of our production reds gave us this beautiful double-yolker!


Next to Hy-vee large eggs (the egg was so big we couldn't close the carton!)


Ready for huevos rancheros..

Congrats, I don't know why buy those eggs are always more satisfying, haha

Hi all,

Seems like I have been on quite a long sabbatical again. Thought I would share...I have finally begun the coop that has been 2 years in the making. I got a bunch of pallets and materials from "The Old Yolks" in April of 2013, thanks again Nan! I had too many things get in the way of the coop expansion. All my girls are slowing down so I am ready to start a rotation of new birds. Thought I would share my progress. My brother and I are the masterminds of the coop design, my dad is the foreman who is taking the vision and making the materials I have work. My husband, son and I are the labor. Dad tells us what to do, we do it; sometimes with more explanation or direction than others.

Day One--Turns out my brother had my post hole digger. Not much to be done, except figure out how to make some of this work.



Day Two--starting to look like something.


Also, some friends of ours are looking to hatch duck eggs for a school project. Anyone have ducks, duck expertise, or know where one might get duck eggs?

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the wonderful weather.
