Okay so I took these this morning

The clan were all waiting at the door wanting to get out but I don't let them out until after lunch and they have all laid their eggs.

That way I don't have to go on a daily easter egg hunt :lol: , and Clyde gets all the "exercise" he wants. :-D

Carmel (affectionately known as Carmey) was my model this morning as she sat peacefully waiting for her egg to come. Carmel is also the queen bee of the coop.

I have barricaded Lolly & Pickle in the "Siesta" area underneath the hen house so they start to get the smell of the pen on their feathers and bodies and so the others start getting use to them, but I'm not ready to intergrate them just yet as they are still quite little compared to the big kids.
Clyde still doesn't know what to do with them (i.e.; either to protect them or try and hump them :lol: ) so this way they get a little extra protection from everybody.

I still have to take some photos of their outside yard so they will be the next installment of photos yet to come.

Cheers
Chicka-Dee

Fabulous.......gorgeous photos.....if they get let out dont they just wanderback in to their nesting boxes to lay when the mood takes them? Or are mine weird?

They look so healthy and happy xx

[smilie=a_rolling.gif] what are your girls up to Doolan? Where do they lay their googs? If your girls are used to laying in same place then when you let them out they will return to the nest box to lay. Chookies are creatures of habit.

Ahhh welcome back to the main land D wave.gif

Can't wait to see your picys of your new pen :-D (no photo shopping allowed), I love seeing others pens and seeing how creative they are. I always find it especially interesting how others set up their nesting box & roosting area. I have to say its one area that I still haven't worked out a perfect set up.

This pen is our third pen as well so maybe ill learn a trick or two from you D [smilie=a_goodjobson.gif]
