The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

[CGilbert]

We got a whooping FOUR eggs today!!!

except one was laid in the run next to the waterer so Gator can have that and one I dropped taking out of my pocket once I got inside

And yesterday we got 3.

Gator???? Can the gators get to the birds???

Gator???? Can the gators get to the birds???

Sorry for the confusion! Gator is my dog! Haha we named him that because as a puppy he used to just lay on the ground and snap his mouth like an alligator and even now he snaps the air when he's being sassy or wants to play. He's a Black Lab/Great Pyrenees mix. But he can't get to the chickens either since they're either inside their run (chainlink dog kennel) or he is inside when they range plus he's not allowed back there since he tends to terrorize them. meant we can cook it and give it to him or give him it raw cause I didn't think it'd be safe for us
