    Would that be considered egg-napping, or chicken rustling?

    Definitely egg-napping. If it were chicken-rustling, it would've been Jack Straw

    They sure aren't! If you don't get the deal, there's the black roof inn here in Whitefield. It's quiet other than the rooster! :rofl: :lol:

    Any digging signs? The run on the other side of the coop?
    Anything since then?

    Not yet... that was taken about a month ago... I’ve seen them in pictures down at the base of my hill, never up by the coop. I’ve got wire at the base of the run and have drove conduit spikes around perimeter of the coop...

    Sounds good for digging predators. I need to check out you chicken thread again. :thumbs:

    No eggs this morning! MikeInMa is an early riser though.

    First day they layed last week they were exactly 18 weeks. So 4 1/2 months. This breed is known for being some of the earliest layers. And cold hardy as well. We'll see about that, it gets cold here!
