Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

Thankyou it was very helpfully just went back out there was just one hen in the nesting box and she was sitting on three eggs this time.

Springtime has evidently arrived in the Pacific Northwest! At least as far as pullets are concerned. Congrats!

the deed is done. the Foster roosters are now people food.

I let the whole flock out this afternoon, it was about 30* and very sunny. everyone was hesitant, so I scattered some BOSS....... haven't looked at the pics yet, but should have a few good ones. when it was time to go in, I put Royce with the Foster girls, he was a bit confused at first when I pointed him home and it was his "old" door... but he went in and the girls all followed

. he was quite happy, when I left, he was inside the nest box calling softly - and one of the BO's joined him. next week, I'll make more changes, give him the girls I want to collect fertile eggs from.

I still have to make one more round to check, but I have 8 Eggs so far, and expect an egg from EE Opal, as she was sitting when I put everyone up...

We are having dumplings tonight. At least that is what I am attempting to make. Never made any so Granny is on speed dial!

So far I have gotten 8 eggs today and left with 2 fighting over the same nest. Every one is out in the yard pilfering around. I gave them the ladt of the millet sprouts today. I am going to have to find some more around here. They loved it! Thanks cheeka!

Royce, mingling with his "new" ladies. I like the ratio. 35:1 I didn't count Peach, Esther or Sillie Soo... no bantams for him!

10 Eggs today!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Yum! dumplings really are easy... I just try to make them fairly the same size and drop them in the simmering broth, then I add a can of evaporated milk for that addictive creamy quality... Bisquick is a great blend, easy recipe, and they now have it gluten free!
