On a lighter note, I just took a video of one of my pullets climbing s ladder and flying from the top onto our roof. It now appears to be attempting to nest. Maybe I'll find an egg up there later haha.

What breed is she benen? Would love to see the video! She does indeed sound like an adventurer!

Good luck with finding that egg :)

Haha. She is no purebred. I purchased a few chickens from a poultry farmer and hatched from the eggs. She is mostly white with a black tail and half black beak.

All of the young ones are starting to lay. Easy to tell who is putting in effort and who isn't though!

No egg on the roof that I could find.
