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!

Cool!! I hope to come and meet some of you! I have been reading the BYC almost everday since I found it in March. I live in Newberg and have 6 hennies. 1 BA,1EE,1BO,1RI,2LBs. I raised almost 30 chicks in my bathtub.

.till they were big enough to go to my dads to live in a real chicken yard while my DH and I built our chicken yard and "Rosebud Manor" which is a greenhouse/chickenhouse and next year gets an eco-roof. I tell everyone who even likes chickens about the BYC. Nice to meet you all
