Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

[mortie]

Oh most of us started writing poems before we got eggs. Go for it.

I'm sure any day I will get an egg gift
And in that moment my spirits will lift

I've fed and watered and cleaned and swept
I'm beginning to think my girls are inept

C'mon ladies, now it's your turn
I'm tired of checking the boxes and saying "durn!"

Good one!

well... I got home from work, realized I forgot to switch the nests around this morning -big doh!- and a few hens managed to squeeze into the Dogloo with Big Broody. now there are more eggs in there and I don't know which are good from which are bad. some of her eggs I marked with BB, but not all. there is still a hen sitting, so when she gets up, I'll take all the eggs and toss them. Big Broody is moved into the broody pen with her one bitty chick. at least she got the one... wish like heck it was more, but at least she has one.

flock is out, thunderstorms might move in, might not... so I gotta scoot back outside - good poems everyone!

ok had some fun today, fixed a pie for our chickens, they seem to love it, gerry and i watch as they eat it, watermelon, cereal, egg shells, noodles, eggs and sunflower seeds. the pan was empty when we came in but a couple of chickens still standing on it, like come on give us more, they gave us 16 eggs today, the next group is to start laying in about 2 weeks.

So I told DH we might have to move a couch into the barn.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
The worst thing to grab
Is a pile of poo


Anyone else almost grab a glob of poo because it looks like an egg?

Ok so the poems have me totally messed up! The few other threads I am on, I'm trying to read EVERYTHING in rhyme. Then I'm like they stink as a poet..... Then it hits me .... Um they aren't trying to be one. Lol

2 today from the RSL's
0 from the Silkies
0 from the ducks

We replaced the water in the ducks "pond" and I gotta tell you.... It was a mating free for all of epic proportion. I finally gave them all a cold shower from the hose to break it all up. So maybe with all that going on the ducks will start to lay soon.

of course I have, since I have Marans especially. I've picked it up, knelt in it, put my palm squat on when pushing myself upright... my shoes and boots are caked in it. I leave little packages on the floor/ground out in public... (I take my shoes off before coming in the house...)
today, Big Broody left a big smeary poop in the Dogloo, which I thought I did a good job of gathering and getting it up and out. yeah, I had poop on one finger... nope. I had poop all over my hands, which then meant I had poop on my pocket flashlight, poop on my camera, poop poop poop! I got mad for an instant or maybe 2, but then got the Clorox wipes out.
