The finishing touches


The finishing touches, originally uploaded by Campobello Island.

The finishing touches. The power of positive thinking for the girls and the evil eye for the predators. The little box on the door below the Fresh Eggs sign is called a Nite Guard Solar. It is a solar powered little red flashing light that automatically turns on after dark and shuts off when daylight returns. according to the advertising animals like Raccoon and Coyote stop as soon as they see the light and leave they perceive it as another animal or human. If this actually works I will buy another one hoping that I can put out a bird feeder that the raccoon won't tare apart.

The birds didn't arrive today, not surprised they were shipped less than 24 hours ago but I have a feeling they will arrive in the morning.

Me too Michèle. I have a feeling they will arrive this morning and the Chick Cam will be going shortly there after. LOL

A webcam! Hooray! I haven't watched one since the stork chicks in Spain last year. Are you going to have it on 24/7?

Never take me seriously...... sorry I was joking I just meant that I will post some video of the chicks, wish I had a web-cam though.

I though it would be positive reinforcement for the girls. LOL 5 to 6 months before the first egg is laid.
