so sorry for your loss I've been reluctant to let mine out over the past few days because of everyone's hawk stories. I feel bad for them keeping them in but I worry about them too much. I hope those hawks go away!

My girls keep hiding, but I haven't seen any Hawks this week, but I do hear Canadian Geese over head. Maybe that is setting them off?

So excited! Met Troyer's lovely wife and got 6 eggs for my broody girl. (There's that chicken math again....). Hopefully the broody will do well, she did not appreciate being woken up for me to put cold eggs under her. Lol

Thanks Wing for the connection & Thank you @troyer for the eggs!

YAY!!! My cabin is finally here!!!

It got here about 2:30pm yesterday & between the rv not starting so it could be moved, my son getting his truck stuck in the yard trying to tow the rv, the delivery guy having to pull my son out & then tow the rv to where it needed to go, the trailer the cabin was on getting stuck in my muddy yard, trying to maneuver the cabin around the obstacle course in my yard, and getting the cabin set on blocks...it was around 10pm before the poor delivery guys could leave...and they still have to come back Monday to put the rest of the support piers under & finish leveling it. But, YAY, IT'S HERE!!!

I moved a few things in last night just to make more room in the rv. Today I will be running wiring & plumbing & getting everything ready to put the wood stove in place. Saturday I will be trying to get the wood stove set up & the rest of the stuff from the rv moved in and Sunday we will be getting beds & furniture from storage so we can get completely moved in before Monday.

Does that mean you have cabin fever early this year?

Need some help form the veterans. I just put the fertile eggs under my broody, but she is still in the same best box as she has been her entire broody time. She is in the nest box in the coop with the others. The other chickens don't lay in her box much, if at all, because she doesn't leave. They lay in the other nest box, or in another corner. Should I mover her into a separate pen? I do have a separate box that I had originally made for my silkies, that is close to ground level with no ramp. Should I move her now? I'm not sure if she would stay, but she is determined to sit on eggs....

Front & side
12X32 with double 12x12 lofts

Back door with my son's gf hanging out waiting on me to help her down cuz steps are not set yet

This end will contain kitchen & bath. She is 5'6"...ceiling beams are 6'2"...better be short (I am) or learn to duck.

12X12 loft on each end for kids' rooms & storage. Still gotta install ladders.

This end is the front. My room goes to the right of the door in front of window. Woodstove goes on the block base to the left. Livingroom area is on right across from woodstove.

Lots of work to do, but moving in as soon as electric, plumbing & woodstove are in.

When I had broodies in the coop with the rest of the girls, I always had someone laying on top of her and too many extra eggs under her. I would mark the eggs and take out the new eggs daily. I never had luck with my girls and new chicks together. I always moved momma and the babies to a new box after they were hatched. I tried to move a 1st time broody in the middle of her sitting and she abandoned the nest and eggs.

You gotta see what works for you and your girl.

Thanks! I think I am just going to let her do her thing, it's probably too late to move her, and she is high, if not the highest on the pecking order. We'll see how it goes. Did you candle at all during the process?
