you can keep that.. My birds are ready to start laying and it's going to get really cold again..

Is it too early for them?? They didn't lay till may last year but looking at some pictures I took you can tell that some of the hens seem to have eggs, or they have some kind if growth.. I'll have to see if I can find those..

We pit pine shavings in the boxes this past week and we will be building about 40 more this weekend with the help of my sons boy scout den!! They are going to build the ground boxes, place shaving out and then learn about all of the birds on the farm.. One brave soul may even get to kill and clean a turkey!!

No it's not too early, our wild wood ducks here usually have ducklings by mid to late Feb. Threw March.
We often started getting eggs in mid Feb. from some of the more southern species like wood ducks ring teal and such, by March April most all should be going, May actually is pretty late for them to just get started, at least here in the south.
