Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

MrsLoris, keep training him in that manner and he will be the one to suggest a few more!  men love chickens too...

I agree! My hubby took to the ladies right away and loves giving them treats and is always disappointed if they won't let him pet them while we are in the yard with them.

And I ask... How do you do that? Lol


My hubby is the one that suggested we work on lobbying to get the chicken law changed in our city to allow more chickens per backyard :)

Plecckkk! That just sounds disgusting! I just hope mine aren't poo eaters!! I don't care so much about the puppy eating theirs cuz I don't do puppy kisses ( they lick their bums!).

Lori (my name is Lori too :)), I just discovered last night that at least one of my ladies is a poo eater but they were all trying to grab it away from her. I was totally disgusted by it! But I posted here to ask about and was told that it is normal. Gross but normal. :(

Does the thrill of getting eggs ever become routine with you all? I sure hope not! I have fun getting eggs from the big girls already but can not wait until my other girls start to lay!! :)


I'm still relatively new to chickens, got our 4 adopted hens about 7 weeks ago, but nope, I still get super excited every time I open the nesting box door and find eggs.
In fact the other day I didn't have my contacts in yet and went out. Saw something, got really excited only to find out when I picked it up that it was the golf ball that we put in the nesting boxes to remind them what to do in there during a recent moult.
 
I love finding eggs!!!! It's like a treasure hunt every day! Tho thankfully they stopped laying in the roof of our well and are all laying in the coop. Tho now that squirt took the prime fake nest they made a new one which requires me to climb into the coop, straddle a roosting bar and reach over squirts enclosure!!!!

Here's the little munchkin on the nest!!!!

I haven't seen her off the nest at all!!! So I put a plate of food next to her and included watermelon so I know she's getting some fluids.
 


Dude down the road leaves out cat food so I swung by there. OK gets his panties in a wad but hey it is free food. I'm back home now. OK seemed pretty put out because it was after dark. But I know my way home.
