Yesterday: Two more soft shelled eggs on the coop floor. Several days ago I put an old piece of masonite over Bob's cage because the Reds were perching on the top and their droppings were falling down on him. This solved that problem. The new twist is that I suspect the Reds are laying their eggs up there, and they roll off onto the floor.

Note to self: Must... get... golf... balls...

Also news from my daughter. She's found someone nearby county with Alpine goats for sale, so a yearling doe is in our future. Busy times for a hobby farmer ahead.
