GRRrrrrrrr.... I was so proud of the chicken curtains that I put up today. Did the girls??? Heck no!!

We just got home from the boat show and 3 of the girls were outside staring at the coop door.

So... I took the double set of curtains down. I tried to make the girls happy and comfy with more privacy, but I am not going to force the issue. If it ain't broke, it won't get fixed. I will check on them in a few to see if they decided that it was safe to enter the coop again. Penny did lay an egg.

Aww!!!!! Maybe try to put the curtains up at night after everyone has gone to roost... Then they are there when they wake up, and it may take them a little while to adjust to them!

Help! I can't seem to stop buying/hatching chicks!!! I took a class offered by the University of Florida today. "Chickens 101". Great class, very informative. One of the speakers brought chicks

Luckily most of them were bantams and since most of my chickens free range, I thought they would be an easy target for the overhead threats. So I got a BO, 2 runner and 1 harlequin ducks (but they were so cute!), 1 something I don't remember, and 5 BR's. Although her chicks had more white than black and my last batch of BR babies were mostly black with a little white on the underside. It will be interesting to see how they feather.

Janet, I wish a speedy recovery to your brother. You can't seem to catch a break. You are a wonderful sister!

W4W, good to see you are finally getting some rain! I bet your chickens will be dancing in it!

Lindz, beautiful scenery! Your puppy is so cute!! Try spacing the puppy vaccines out by a month. It is easier on their systems. If you can separate them, you will be able to determine if any of them cause a reaction. There are some great articles on vaccines in Dogs Naturally Magazine if you are interested.

I got 18 eggs today!!! The closest I have come to perfect from 20 current layers! Things are picking up!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Great idea. I will try in a couple of nights. The single curtain was left up. Gonna go check on them now.

BR roosters are mostly white. You may have five BR roosters if they are mostly white

That moment when you heard the egg song and go out to look for who it is, just to get to the porch and realize you are still in a towel fresh out of the shower. *sigh*

"things" would immediately freeze off here! Yikes! I am no better, egg song sets me running!
