The Waiting Game

When will we get an egg? I'm beginning to think our chickens don't know how to lay one.

I've been saving egg cartons ever since we decided to get chickens and they are on the pantry shelf, stacked to the ceiling.

Maybe I'm being too nice to the hens. Maybe I shouldn't have said that I love them for just being them and that any eggs they decided to give us would be a bonus. Maybe I should talk tough to them. "Now listen up, chickens..."

I think I'll go and try that.

             I have found that saw dust in the nesting boxes works better than straw as it's easier to clean out.
