I think Bach is going broody on us. She spends most of her day in the right nest box. I searched through the posts here about broody chickens and she shows most of the signs. Stays in her nest box. I took her out of the box and put her on the ground and she started clucking deep like a ticking bomb. Then she sang her "I just layed an egg" song and danced around their yard a bit. Then as soon as I walked out of her sight, she went right back to her nest box. No egg laying though. She has been giving us some eggs, because we've been getting two almost every day. Although yesterday neither gave us any eggs, but I think that was the storm that blasted through here yesterday.
One of the hens also gave us a "fairy egg" on Friday. I'm wondering if maybe they're related to going broody?
Anyway, we're starting on our bigger chicken coop project... by starting I mean we got a few free pallets, and by "we" I mean my husband. My husband wants to get it done ASAP because he really really really dislikes all the chicken poop on our back patio. I don't blame him, he takes the dog out there and she eats that up like it's treats and he's the one that goes out there to BBQ! LOL I'm looking forward to working on the coop though. I want to "design" it as best I can to look somewhat like our house. Which means getting some brick veneer to put on the outside of the coop and putting some white columns in front and back of the coop. hehehe... we'll see how it turns out though. Big dreams and reality aren't always the same thing!
