Why is there a light on in the Glenn Cottage Eggery coop tonight?

Yes I did build it!! With some help from a friend, who came for the first few days to help with the roof. But primarily it was a one woman job!!

Did you see my coop page? It has pictures of the finished coop, if you scroll down the page to my first posting on there.

Lucky chickens. Have fun!

They're great. How exciting! I'm envious, because our feed store only has chicks once a year on Easter. But, maybe that's for the best.....

Edited to say: If anyone in South Arkansas has any chicks for sale, I've got chick fever bad. I'm looking for some Silkies, blue, black or buff.

FINALLY!

I'm so glad to see you finally have occupants for your Eggery! I love my BO too! I had two of them but a weasel got the other one when they were about 10 wks old.

I have tried to so hard to make my coop and run secure. We don't have many preditors here in the city. and I have a 6 to 7 ft fence around the yard. And a big dog, that I am now training to watch momma's baby chicks. He is doing pretty good really. I put him on down stay and tell him to "watch'em", a command he has had all his life when he is allowed to look out the front door and keep tabs on who is doing what. He actually got bored watching them yesterday! The first day he was doing "play postures" to them. But, I made it clear the chicks will not be able to "play" with him. So now he is being calm and only watching them.

And what a smart idea, to put the waterer on a cafeteria tray!

hi rebel!

I was just asking where you was th' other day!

wonderful to see that lovely coop in use.

Hahaha! My first thought was, "Wow! look how clean that coop is. How does she do it." Then when I read that you just got chicks it made more sense and I don't feel so bad about mine

It is so cute! You will just love your girls, they are both great breeds.
