Bummer on those eggs. Eggtopsies can be interesting, but just don't bother if you don't want to.
Have the chocolates laid any more eggs?

Yeah, I don't really want to.

I got the egg that was laid on the drive and one egg two days ago. I think they stopped because of the change.

@apryl29 Once the weather is nice and I don’t have to worry about frozen water that’s my next step. I’m hoping with the weather getting warmer and they can spend more time outside she’ll be nice(r). Her total 180 in personality is shocking.

Yeah, I've noticed mine are being total turds lately, but when they're outside ranging they're fine. I don't feel like they're too crowded, but they just have NOTHING to do in their run. Like all the grass is gone & there's not bugs to eat and they can't dust b/c it's all mud. Poor Damon was sitting in THE nest this morning and Klaus keep going up her and yelling at her and pushing her out of the next. Then Poor Damon goes back in, repeat.. then the last time one of the eggers goes and sits on the nest while Damon stands there saying wtf? I tried to put her in another nest, but it wasn't good enough. So I tossed some treats in the run and everyone came running out and Damon was back on the nest. Stupid pecking order. I'm hoping I'll get time Sunday to do a little work on the other nesting boxes to make them more desirable.
 
PUPPY!!!!

this last one is Sable trying to find the best angle for sniffing.

Dang hard to get pics of a wiggly puppy!

Do you have room in your run for a couple sawhorses with a board screwed across them? Mine use that set up when its muddy.
Can you hang an apple or head of cabbage in the run?
Thinking boredom busters.....

You're killing me! We had bunns years ago, but they weren't handled much before we got them so they weren't friendly. Then my parents moved so we had to find them new homes.

I don't really have access to my run b/c of the way that it closes. I have some apples I'm going to toss in there tonight, but not way to hang them. I'm going to need to put some supports for the cover so my plan is to put in some roost type boards in there for them to stand on, but that probably won't happen for a while.

PIC and I used @Anansi s blender and made banana blueberry mango protein smoothies for breakfast. Nan, you're out of blueberries!!!

Today looks like TATERS for sure outside. It was terribly windy last night and blew over the run roost.

Gotta run into town to drop off the box containing my BROKEN toolbox to Fedex. Kroger for some fresh fruit and veg. Probably gonna pop into the Goodwill store and Lowes while I"m in that area.

HEY! This was in my newsfeed this morning... thought I would share! https://spoodoir.com/2018/03/02/beg...nti-and-matteo-tranchellinis-chicken-project/

Yeah --see where it says Chardon 3-5+--I'm in Chardon.
 
Hobo has decided she doesn't want anyone laying in her proximity. I had to distract her while poor Susan got in the nest only then did she puff up and go lay. She's just a savage little chicken, in every single way. I don't get it and I'm not sure I want to.
