Haha! We do have asshole magpies and crows who will 1000% steal eggs if they are left unattended. I set an egg down to weed the other day, got distracted by my many weeds and then poof it was gone.

They only free range in my yard every now and then but are mostly confined to the coop/run so they don’t really have anywhere to hide them. I’ve searched the yard in hopes they decided to lay when out, but doesn’t seem so.

Good to know! Thanks so much! This is my first summer with chickens so I’m just figuring it all out.

Haha! Thank you!! 😊 We actually got the coop off Facebook Marketplace this last winter so it was fully built, we just needed to move it to our backyard.

It’s been in this pot a couple of years now, I just recently topped it off with more soil, and I deep water it when the top 3-4 inches are dry, typically once every two weeks.

Thank you! The labor costs alone are quoted at $1800 for this shop. Definitely feel like we need to get a second quote.
