When checking for eggs yesterday, I was greeted by one of our two Black Australorps who was ready to lay. Curious to see what she would do with me watching, I left the door open, stepped back and watched for a minute. After assessing my intentions, she began moving the eggs around in the nesting box with her beak.
Apparently, after thinking about it for a few more minutes, she decided she didn’t like me watching after all, so she jumped back out of the box and stood on the other side of it waiting for me to leave. Honoring her request, I closed the door and let her do her thing.
When I went back to check for eggs a few hours later, this is what I found…
Apparently chickens like to be organized just as much as they like their privacy 😉

We got our first chicks on the weekend. I’m so excited – they are so cute in their little homemade brooder. I’m looking forward to seeing what antics they get up to as adults as well.
Awww…yay! Oh, chicks are the best!!! So sweet and fluffy! Make sure to wipe their fluffy bottoms so they don’t get sick 🙂
That’s so awesome. Can’t wait till we have chickens someday. Until then I’ll just have to live vicariously through yours and the others I find on blogs. Hey, when we get there I’ll have the wisdom of y’all. 🙂
Absolutely! Take it all in, then when it’s time, you’ll know exactly what you want!
haha hens are so funny! I love the different colour eggs you get, when we have our smallholding I’m definitely getting a variety of hens too 🙂 x
A variety is definitely where it’s at 😉 I love all the colors and personalities!
