I think my chickens know I'm replacing them...

I ordered hatching eggs today, and like magic, 3 of 4 laid an egg. They haven't laid in almost 3 months! Little blighters.

I think we should get roger a pet goat

She wants a pony and a air horn.....might be worth it to take my camera and wait for her to show up at Wal Mart riding the pony and blowing the air horn

Once upon a time, there was a 6 lb. Pom-a-Poo named Harley. Harley loved riding around the country in his big Red truck with the 53 foot trailer (with dead chickens in it more often than I want to remember. Oh! The stench!

). One day Harley's mom and dad left him in the truck at a rest area while they grilled steaks nearby. Harley was not happy! He wanted steak too! He was too small to reach the air horn, so he jumped up on the steering wheel, and bounced on the city horn. Mom and Dad looked up! Harley jumped down, and pawed at the window to get their attention. It didn't work!! They thought there was a defective horn in another truck! Harley tried again and again until ... Finally! Mom and Dad saw it was HARLEY blowing the horn!
They laughed, and ignored him. Harley eventually gave up, and stopped blowing the horn.
BTW, the Pointer used to turn on the turn signal. It was always easy to find our truck at night.

We had tons of suggestions on here about how get them to lay, but this is a new one! Welcome and thanks for sharing!

What do y'all use in your nest boxes? Hay? Shavings?

I use shavings

Shavings. May switch to hay or straw. Only because I use sand. Pine chips do scoop out with the pooper scooper. It just is tedious.
