Accountability Chaos
Life in the coop is never dull. After our two broody hens hatched their eggs, another hen decided it was her turn to be broody. Then a fourth hen decided to join her. So, we now have two hens with peeps and two broody hens, and the other three are trying to fend off Hei Hei. Applying what I learned after my last round of broody hens, I left the hens in the coop and upon reaching 12 eggs (a nice sized clutch), we marked the designated eggs for them to incubate. After that, we removed any new or unmarked eggs. All was fine until we decided it was time to move the 4-week-old peeps and their mamas back into the main coop to make room in the broody hen coop.

Avoid This Biggest Mistake When Creating a Job Description
You’re finally at that point where you’re ready to take the next step and make that next hire. You feel comfortable with your company direction, the number of resources you have and know that you can’t continue on any longer with the breakneck pace and number of hours you’ve been putting in.
