Hens - fresh brown eggs

So finally after having our finished chicken coop for what seemed like months, I got the pullets from opposite Rimmer Road. Just two - they were $28 each and the guy just launched at two they had in their run and popped them in Dante's cat cage! Off I went home with them in my boot.

I got them into the coop easily enough and they stayed inside most of the day. Coming out every now and again. I could see them through the side windows. The person I bought them off said they were about 18 weeks old and would be laying soon, and to block off the nesting boxes so they didn't sleep in there and poop in there. Well I went out the next day to do exactly that and there were two eggs!!! Plus poop! So I guess we will have poop in the nesting boxes. Oh well.

They've been coming outside a little more. We will keep them in for a few days before we let them free range in the day.

 

Our first eggs!!

The very fancy coop we got on trade me. It was kit set. I can't tell the girls apart yet, and I keep calling them him. But they are very likeable.
