Great find and adorable picture if the kiddos. They will remember getting cart rides!This is what I found when I opened up the coop this morning at 9! There must have been a line at sunrise for the corner nesting box! I found one more about 2 o'clock.

OH I love it! lovely yard to look at too!
Here's a far away pic!!! It's 6x8 w 3 nest boxes. I do have to reinforce the windows and vents because I want the 1/2 x1/2 hardware cloth covering them for piece of mind. This is only the temp location, but I will be building a run a my dad on Wednesday.
As for the chicks... They are 2 weeks old and starting that "awkward" stage.
oh so cool! I love the precious moments but that lil hatching chick is just adorable!W4W, nope on both counts! the treasured book is from lindzthank you so much!!! and the figurine is from my Mom and Dad. they are so thoughtful... I've been collecting Herend figurines since I was about 10 years old. back then, the tiny 1" bunnies with just dots on them were $1. a few years back, they were up to $15. don't know what they cost now... I have about 50 pieces and a dozen or so 1" bunnies, a couple of pieces are signed
and my b-day is 11/21
a copy of a highly rated (and highly wanted!) new book and a piece of Herend porcelain.
peeking at birthday presents is fun! this pic is a bit blurry, but you can see the details - the shell bits, the cracks... it's the same size as a pullet egg, and I love it!
Wow, thats a long haul for DH. We have snow coming tues, UGH NOOO!!!!Haha, MC, sounds like your body is trying to get ready for winter and wanting to put some meat on your bones. How old is your delicious looking pullet? They can get awfully tough as they get older. Something like under 16 weeks if you want to roast it, then there's an age window for braising and stew, and after that they're used mostly for broth. (can't remember the exact ages for a dual purpose type). Traditional French Coq au Vin works best with an older bird (it was how the farmers' wives got rid of old roosters and giving them a new purpose). None of it seems wrong to me, just seems like you're hungry!
C-lindz, your new coop is beyoootiful. Lucky chickens!
Ooops, Cheeka. Oddly I remembered the day of your b-day, but got the month wrong. I do remember your age though, because we will soon be the same age until March.
On the home front, egg count continues to stay low, but molting feathers are growing back, so after a month or 2 to rest up, I expect the girls to get it in gear and start cranking them out. We can barely keep a dozen in the fridge, because folks at hubs' work ask for them. Speaking of hubs, he left Friday for an overnight flight to Hong Kong. Another 10 days of work before he can come home. Small chance for some rain on Tues.Got to get the boys and go do some rain-dancing.
