We now have to keep the laundry closed (good egg-laying opportunities there...), and have had to put up chicken wire fences around smaller and more delicate plants. It is also important to be certain all the doors into the house are always closed; they will find an open door in a matter of minutes. We also have to do the regular inspection to find the latest nest, as they seem to think that stealth-laying is a hoot for all concerned. These chooks will be Isabrowns. I am hoping that if I only let them out after I've put out the washing, that the eggs will be in the laying box and not strange hidey-holes in the garden. Do they lay brown eggs? -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "In Melbourne there is plenty of vigour and eagerness, but there is nothing worth being eager or vigorous about."
