Our First Chicken Eggs!

We visited The Country Place today and we were pleased to find our first eggs!  This is what you call productivity!  Now, if we could just get a little work done on the house!  We've been a little busy for that I guess! I'd like to get back to my recycled walkway project soon.

The chickens have nesting boxes.

Not much else going on besides feeding chickens and mowing right now.  We're bound to get busy sometime soon, so don't go away.  The chickens are 3 months old now.  We got this great nesting box set up from someone who wasn't using them anymore.  Nice, huh?  Not free, but bartered.  No need to convert the blue boxes now.  What should I do with them?

 I was surprised to find these white irises by the side of the house.  It was a nice surprise though, because these are the only flowers out here!  Then we found a big bull snake really wanting to find a way into the chicken coop.  We caught him in time though and I hear that one of the boys wants to make a belt out of the skin.  Great plan of revenge, though I don't think I'll be able to look at it.  It's still giving me the creeps! 

These boxes should be turning into roosting boxes pretty soon.  We should be gathering eggs in 6 weeks or so.  The boxes were 50 cents a piece!   I love a good deal.

The chickens are about 5 weeks old here.  Their box was gettin' really crowded and stinky!  That's all folks!
