Big news!! Today - March 1 - We got our first eggs from the chicks! My father went out to feed them this morning (They are locked in for a while, due to the spotting of a weasel) And found an egg on the floor. He called around 5pm to tell me he found another! This is very exciting! They were both on the floor. The nest itself is basically just a bottom with 2 sides that is attached to the wall. They keep throwing all the hay on the floor, too. So, we're thinking about adding a board to the front of it to keep the hay in better, then we may have to add a roof of some sort to make it darker. Then hopefully they will start to lay in the nest.
It's tiny, but it couldn't be more beautiful to me.
I've been following The Chicken Chick lately. She is a wealth of knowledge, you should check her out!
