Thanks...I think I need to lock her out of the coop...maybe in separate box

how to break this trend of 3 month trend of brooding?

Ive taking your advice regarding setting up pvc feeder tubes.. i did two intalled in my run and the girls love them as do i no more daily feeding them and no waste of feeder pellets...thanks so much for idea..i'll post pics from my phone soon...

I'm a total novice and love learning. Educate me on how to make water. I'm probably gonna buy a grandpas feeder. My hens arrive the end of February.

My coop is 6 by 10 with 8 hens and my covered run is 6 by 10 and I free range too.

Provide info on how best this is done. Move the Treadle feeder into coop and waterer into coop when gone. Otherwise outside in run. ???

So you do out a treadle feeder and Wateter inside the coop when gone for few days then?

But isn't it best to not have food or water in actual coop? Where would you feed them from since I'm assuming you leave them locked securely in the coop!!???? Please educate me.

Question for those out there in the chicken world. Ive read its best to not have food or water in the actual coop. So what do I do if I'm going away for a few days ?

We're starting with 8 layers.
