You're getting more eggs every day than me

Still six out of six today.

Seriously, I don't know what to attribute it to. As my father used to say, "even the dumbest farmer can grow the biggest potatoes." Just lucky, I guess.

I'd settle for one!

Morning, Gang.

Waiting for the rain to settle in. Damp, but going to hit 62 today.

I noticed the coop is about 5 degrees warmer than the air temp overnight. Looks like the girls can generate a decent amount of warmth for themselves.

Morning Al!

Gladys is so noisy this morning, I had to go into the house to quiet her down. Aggie's starting to join in too. I'm afraid the neighbors will complain.

I have a question for everyone.
My sister in laws friend has 4 chickens. We all live in the same area. She said she got a letter in the mail from her home owners insurance (Allstate) that they cancelled her policy for having chickens. Says they came to do a check up type of thing (which I know they sometimes do) and took pictures but she was'nt home at the time. Hubby says they were trespassing. I have never heard of home owners insurance cancelling you for chickens. Anyone else? Curious because I also have Allstate and now i'm worried.

WOW! That is strange, we also have Allstate and just renewed our policy. I can't imagine why they would do that.

Tried doing a google search about it and someone said if you sell the eggs and the person gets sick they can sue your home owners insurance. This is really strange.

I have Allstate too. I'd recommend checking her policy to see if there is anything mentioned about chickens or other pets. I know certain breeds of dogs are frowned on (pit bulls, etc.) but I never heard about chickens. I know insurance companies lately are looking for any reason to cancel policies, but I never heard of that. Is she in compliance with town codes?

Insurance companies are no longer in the insurance business. They are in the business of taking money and not paying claims.

Keep us posted. I'd like to know what happens.

Most town codes prohibit selling eggs, so you can't even legally do that, so that should cancel out that part.
