Hi there,
I'm from NSW Australia... 5 months into my journey with my two girls Ruby and Goldy
(and 7 yr old daughter) Tara .. we're just 'Loving it'! (as well as a budgie and 4 guinea pigs).
We just moved to this lovely country-ish town a few hours from where I grew up. It's awesome.
We met our girls when they were 2 days old, and now they'e been laying for 3 weeks.
Goldy has laying regularly every morning and perfect since day one, roosting in a baby cradle (tipped on it's side) under our
outdoor covered area. (they sleep in their box/bedroom on the washing machine still!)
Ruby on the other hand has been all over the place, afternoon laying, missing a day, spotty or
dry eggs, a couple without shells. Then one day she ran in the back door, into the laundry and
jumped up into a hanging basket from the ceiling (where I kept my bags and hats), and promptly laid her egg,
for 2 days running first thing in the morning like Goldy. Then she went off again, but has since laid perfect eggs
in there for the last 4 mornings.
So she'll keep laying there until she's secure enough to move her outside. Their coop is an old kiddies swing set (you know the triangle framed ones), with chicken wire on 3 sides and a mezzanine level in the top section, half the length. My plan is for them to sleep out there at some point. Given winter is over for us here in Oz, I'll have them out there soon. It will feel very strange
leaving them outside. They're so cute being in the laundry though, throughout the night I go to the loo and we 'squeek' talk to each other.
Anyway.. I look forward to zooming about the site and meeting lots of you.
