Can you believe I got 5 eggs today? 
These pullets and hens went into crates on Friday night just before dark. We had to finish up things so we got a late start on Saturday. After 9 hours of travel it was to late and they got watered and fed in the crates and spent the night in the horse trailer. All day Sunday they were crated too because the new coop wasn't in the right place. We had been picking eggs out of all the crates. Except the cockerels of course!
They got put in the coop late on Sunday night. So they spent all day yesterday cooped in the coop (I don't have the runs attached yet) but there is lots of room. Today when I got home from town there was 3 green eggs, 1 Coopers and 1 PChant pullet egg. What troopers they are to keep laying. Let's see how long it lasts.

. Bet they keep on ticking, just like that bic lighter. My four Coopers are laying up a storm. Every day, beautiful, dark brown eggs, some little some so whomping big, wonder how they even get them out. And guess what? This is the coolest of cool. They are actually becoming quite friendly, I am thrilled about this. I spend a good deal of time in that coop with the other chooks and hand feed the dandelion greens that I am still picking copious amounts of from the side of the alfalfa fields. They have figured out that the greens sticking out of my hands are good things to chomp on. the birds would much rather bite pieces off from a stable plant, like a hand held plant, than try to bite pieces off something that is limp on the ground and little pieces are hard to get off unless they flick the plant. Ya, so you got some nice birds, and I got some of them too, smiling. Lovely to hear that they are laying as such. have a beautiful day, CynthiaM.
