Thanks for the kind words, sallydi. We're now getting a dozen eggs a week total from both birds, so ZsuZsu's definitely delivering.

I'm still a HUGE fan of the Eglu, especially given how easy it is to clean each week. I can't imagine having to deal with a wood floor. Cleaning the plastic is a snap, and it's the perfect size for our two chickens. Oh, and the benefit of chicken-sitting? fresh eggs, of course! (enjoy your trip to Italy, I'm jealous!)

Lovedyour blog! Whast happened with SzuSzu... did she deliver? After using the Eglu, do you still feel it was a good choice? I'm planning to follow your lead into the chicken farming realm.... my daughter says "Oh great mom! Does this mean I have to babysit your dog AND your chickens when you go away?" I'm going to Italy in September for 3 weeks.... I might have to get my Eglu but wait til my return to get my "girls". She's teasingme and would take them in, but I cant do that to her... with a fulltime job, a child and a townhouse!

If (not when) they do change, please post about it, as I'll be curious to know when and how the voices change. This whole sexing-of-chicks thing is an under-rated skill, imo.

The pullet and cockerel issue is something that many chicken pet owners worry about. I still am, since our "girls" are 8-weeks old now and their voices haven't changed yet.
