Blue Sky Farm

My blogging posts and photos are part of me . I think of this as a scrapbook of my life. The names have not been changed.. they are real people who have crossed my path along my journey. Some I know intimately, my family and friends. If their names are mentioned it's a sure sign they are special to me and I love them dearly...come along see for yourself, perhaps you know some of them too..

Squawking " Where is my nest?"


Squawk, Squawk, Mad at me.. I removed the old roost, the old nest boxes and replaced them in "Farmgirl Style"
While I was busy doing the major job, the 4 other hens were happy eating bugs in the garden. We opened it up to them and they love being out again, running to & from their coop. She finally settled down and found her new nest now draped in a cozy  quilt hung for "privacy". ( I used an old  carrying cage for the  nest room, it's bigger and easy access.)





I wonder how long before the other 3 sisters start laying. We are ready with One nest room.. They seem to only  use one so that's what they now have.

Last two picture are the size comparison with the older hens egg... also in the nest with golf balls...Stay tuned for  egg count...today  2
