Well, the ups and downs of farm fresh eggs continue. This time we are on a up. Ethan finally was able to get a make shift coop put together a month or so ago. Not too long after we got it set up, he found an egg in it! One problem though . . . it was frozen.
So I got a little hopeful and put a milk crate nest box in their pen. A few days later we found another egg in there - on the ground. No problem though. It was an egg.

We have been checking this spot and the barred rock's twine nest now. It's a keeper for her so far. We have gotten 1/2 dozen eggs from this spot.
So with the longer days, a stolen nest that was found, and hopefully a new chicken coop to come in the spring, we will maybe have "real" eggs again!

I hope to raise chickens and eggs sometime in the near future and enjoyed this post! I like your egg basket too. May you find many more eggs!
