    Well I have seen the chick stealer. It is a hawk. The darn thing landed on top of the coop and flew into the open door as I waited for my son to bring his gun. Unfortunately it flew away before Cole got back. Down to one chick with the silkie broody :(

    Got an egg question. Am I thinking correct that hens generally lay the same shaped egg? I have 4 cream Legbars just starting to lay and I have 2 olive not blue colored eggs. They are shaped differently so does that mean I have to weirdo cream Legbars or just one? I got the first green egg...
