Oregon

I'm in West Linn. I'm new to the whole BYC thing. My girls (at least what I hope are girls) are 11 weeks old now. Not quite sure what they are, maybe some barred rock mixes, but we love them.

I'm getting a feeling!

One of myy RIRs has been scratching around in the straw, acting a little funny! Could we be close to seeing our first egg?

 

[Uppity Peon]

YES!

 

[playswithfowl]

That's great!

More light on a regular schedule. If they are free ranging take a day to just watch them run around, they may have a nest hidden somewhere. I just found a new one with 8 eggs in it today.

I'm starting to wonder about that. After 3 eggs in 2 days there have been no more. I have been looking around the quiet corners of the yard.

But.... I'm not saying this had anything to do with it, but I had cayenne mixed into their food for a for a few days...

Just wanted to make sure all the Oregonians knew there is another swap in the planning:

Thanks. I subscribed, although I don't anticipate having anything to swap. It might be fun and interesting anyway!
