2 more white eggs.

Another 2 white eggs found. I need to build nesting box and put some stone eggs in it so hens will start laying in coop.

Egg hunt today turned up 2 white eggs.

1 white. Both Americauna and black hen were in coop when it was laid.

Chicks are doing fine, as are the pullets. No marauder trouble - having the lower part of the coop with both solid siding and electric fencing did the job.

no eggs yet. I haven't identified the black pullet - she's black with some white spots/speckles on her sides - could be an Ancona. Americauna seems small.

So all of the meat chicks were killed and partly eaten by a raccoon pulling them through the chicken wire siding on the coop. I put two courses of 1x6 lumber along the base and ran electric fence wire along the bottom and top of the siding.

Last Saturday I was given 3 pullets, an Americauna, a Rhode Island Red and a Black hen that I've not identified yet. All three survived while the meat birds were being killed.

Laying chicks were put in the coop last night. All survived.Chick weights (gm) at 30 days age:
Barred Rock: 281, 284, 286, 315, 315, 297
Rhode Island Red: 315, 270, 300
Americauna: 350, 315, 271
Exotic (white with black speckle): 450

Moved all the meat birds out to the coop today.
I weighed all 14 meat birds - at 24 days after hatching:
730, 758, 803, 962, 763, 730, 807, 767, 569, 714, 702, 688, 690, 635 gm.

Dressed weight should be about 2500 gm at 65 days. That 962 gm bird may end up over 3500 gm dressed - big bird.
