So I have a hen that has been laying on all the eggs. I found another chicken laying on that chicken in the nesting box. Should i move the chicken when I see it sitting on the eggs for a long period of time ? What is it doing ? I went to collect eggs today and she was all puffed up on the...

This is the one I was worried about. What us up with the different feathers ? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk

Lol thank you. So with the eggs should I leave the 1 in the nesting box for now or take it out? And when I do re move the eggs do I need to do anything to them. Or just put them in the fridge until we use them ? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk

Was the egg the tell tail sign. ? I am new to chicken. These are my first. And this is my first egg. It has been hot out and I was starting to get worried Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk

That is good to hear. So I put the nesting box in last night and this morning I see our first egg. Is there something I should be doing or looking out for now? I live around Portland and it has been hot. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk

Hello I have 6 chickens and some look to be roosters. I just got my first egg today Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk

Thank you all for the info..!!!! Yeah I can see that the grass is just gone and don't seem to be coming back any time soon. I am ok with that. It is on the side of the house where I keep my storage. I have 6 chickens and put pine shavings in the coop .... just didn't put anything down on the...

hello I am fairly new to chickens. I have a coop with run that is about 15 x 7 and sits on the ground in my back yard (coverd). I have noticed the chickens poop has gotten alittle more and more each day. Do I need to clean the grass and dirt area of the poop..? the chickens are stopping it...

Do you think cats can get through ..? I did get some more sheet of plywood I was going to use around the bottom section of the run but went with the wire instead. Doesn't seem like any thing can get through...maybe under ... or am I wrong...can things get through the chicken wire.?

If any one has suggestion that works well for there coop please feel free to let me know thanks

Here is the new set up. It's about 15 feet long 7 feet wide and about 4.5 feet high. With the back section about 6.5 feet high

yeah the branches seem a little small to me as well. I will be putting in something bigger. The ramp is about 2.5 feet long. I bought this coop pre-built. the chickens are able to get in and out of the coop how it is . I am sure I will change it up a little
