SO. Stinkin'. Excited. We have 22 chickens. So far only two roosters out of the bunch (dinner someday soon) so we should be set soon with eggs!
Now - to get them to actually lay them IN the nesting boxes. Hmmm....for now, the kids are starting a new class called 'egg hunt'. It's not just for Easter anymore.
You may already know this, but you can put an egg (real or fake) or a golf ball in the next boxes to encourage them to lay there. I used a golf ball and it worked great. Don't you just love having chickens?
ReplyDeleteBTW, I love following your blog and have enjoyed reading about your journey with Charlotte. I "know" you from the SL forums where I used to lurk daily. I haven't been there in quite a while now, but I remember you from when you were an international. :) I'm "Love2Homeschool".
Loved the post about her Father's Day gift to her daddy!!
