Allen are you going to be using your chickens for meat chickens? I'd be really afraid of your son getting attached to them. Especially since he's carrying this one around and seems attached. Might want to 2nd think letting him "play" with them. Just a thought.

Nice post, Kay. You answered a couple of questions. I wasn't sure about the dozen cats across the street. Wasn't sure a cat could/would crack an egg, but I did find suspicious shells under the porch.
I'm given to early rising and since I put Hanibelle in the coop about 5PM before going in to make dinner for David so I figure she deserves to get up and out and about around 6AM. I've been wondering about putting a window in the coop. Maybe the daylight would help her lay before I get her. Also, I don't think she eats till I open the door to the coop in the AM.
I'll keep an eye on her in the morning.
Every time I threaten to eat her my son raises objections. Funny to watch my 3 year old and the chicken. He carries her all over the yard and she seems to voice no objection probably because he feeds her. She must be about 4 kilos and she's all fluffed up so looks like he's carrying a pillow.
