The hens must be happy in their new digs because three days ago I found this:
Then yesterday three more!
And today they left me four!
The hens have been much quicker to get back into production after the move than I anticipated and seem they to be ramping up production by the day. On a down note, the rooster got after my 5 year old a bit today. I was there and immediately let the rooster know who was boss. I'd like to keep him, but I can't have him terrorize the kids. I'm going to trim his spurs to blunt them and give him one more chance. I'll admit that I'm not hopeful. It's hard for older animals to break bad habits, especially when they are full of testosterone.
