Congratulations! We'd post about all of ours if we could. They are such beautiful, whole, elegant things. Every first egg is a sensation and should be celebrated. Congratulations!

I felt just as excited when the latest batch of pullets began laying as I did when the first ones I raised had... now, I'm giving eggs away because we can't eat them fast enough:) We did a similar job on our coop, event to trenching around it and laying in rubble to discourage diggers; would love to allow greater ranging, but it would be a death sentence where we live. I am looking forward to seeing your plans. Lovely photo!

I just finished CROW PLANET and feel like I know Claire. : ) I felt the same excitement of 'first egg days' when I was raising parakeets and cockatiels. I could never sell any of them...gave a few away, which caused me horrible sorrow. All of my precious flock has passed away, but their memories are forever in my heart.

Yes, urban chicken-keeping requires great vigilance. We lost chickens in earlier flocks to both raccoons and feral ferrets. We spent a lot of time designing our new coop to be a veritable Chicken Guantanamo, and we'll post our coop plans in downloadable format in the near future. Thanks Tim.
