We went from 81 degrees yesterday to 39 and falling this morning... I bet my expectation of 7 today is blown. ETA: In fact, I am going to go ahead and amend the chart to show that Inara and Nandi will find this weather so disgusting that they both take today off and lay tomorrow morning...

Yay!!!! I had a 100% day today also! Yay, Spring!

Zoe, my leghorn has taken to using the egg song as a means to protest standing in line for a nest box... After that, I think the others just get caught up in the excitement.

Yeah, most of the time my girls are sneaky, and forgo the whole egg song thing... but yesterday they were all going... the two in the nest, the one waiting for a nest and another one out by the feeder who had laid an hour earlier... it's possible one of the wyandottes or maybe Yolanda was going...

OMGosh! Take a small bucket or coffee can out with you. Or at the very least, put them in a jacket pocket.

Well, I only have 7 hens...and they all lay a slightly different color from each other... that's a big help right there... But I am also home all day... and their coop and run is only 40 feet from my back door... So it is easy to just look out and see when someone is out of the nest or hear an...

I offer oyster shell free choice for my ladies, but if I feel like their shells are getting thin, I sprinkle a handful or two in the tray of their feeder.
