Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

1 Egg today........................

My older son is going to flip when he sees this. Two of his favorite things in one!

We hosted a visitor from Hong Kong at dinner tonight. (Work associate of my hubby's.) This is his first trip to the US, and he is enjoying every bit of it. Fed him good old spaghetti, sourdough bread, and fresh dungeness crab. He loved it, and it's fun to see his reaction to things that are so familiar to us. The thing he loved the best was petting the cat! Space is at a premium in HK, and it is very hard for most people to keep pets, even though he would love to have one, especially a dog. He saw the eggs out on the counter and took pictures because he's never seen eggs as small as the Serama's. They look teeny tiny next to the monstro Leghorn eggs. We'll have him over again so he can see the chickens and our neighborhood. It was dark by the time they got here. So much space! So big! (And our house is very modest!) Most families in HK squeeze into a fraction of the size of an American home.

2 eggs and 1 egglet today.

Very windy. Ruffled feathers do not make happy chickens. (The lights keep flickering.)

We need some scratch back here. These temps are dropping and Big Broody BO is sitting here naked. Don't make me call PETA.

Nothing is free Roger. Sounds like you need a job. KFC is hiring

Hey Roger, I'll take care of this for you... ahem... cluff, cluff... OK? can you hear me? as you can see from my emaciated form... I'm starving...my problems aside... if Roger, Little Roger, RK, lil BO and Big Broody BO or any of the rest of your gang look as neglected as I do, it's imperative that you order pizza to be delivered every hour on the hour... and on the half hour... they need scratch. don't forget the anchovies.

  [COLOR=4B0082]Something got Clarabelle this evening![/COLOR]

[COLOR=4B0082]I went down to shut the door just after dark like I always do.... Shut the back pop-door, went around and opened the big door to do my head count.  Was missing 1 G.comet, Clarabelle, and all the babies but 3 (2 cochins and 1 BCM was in the coop).  I started looking for them, and found the G.comet, 2 cochins, and 3 BCM's under the coop.  I got down on my hands and knees and used a board to guide them within arms reach to grab them and put them in the coop....  Then I re-counted, and was missing Clarabelle and 2 of the BCM chicks.  So I went hunting for them.  Found Clarabelle in the corner of the run. Something took a chunk out of her back and pretty much skinned her from the back up to her head. It looks like it tried to drag her through the fence because there is feathers on both sides, and blood on the fence.  I kept looking for the other 2 chicks and found them crammed under the wooden crates that we use to pile wood into.  I had to lay on my stomach and reach under to try to get them out.  I was able to cup the smallest one and drag it out, then the other one wiggled out by itself.  I put them in the coop and came back to the house to eat.  Hubby and I went back down after we ate and looked to see if we could find anything.  I moved her out of the pen and will bury her in the morning.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=4B0082]I did get 4 eggs today, 1 from an EE and 3 from the G.comets.[/COLOR]

Just heard about it Lindz. Sorry. Predators will prey.
