Ok, I will keep that plan :)

I have a rooster too so I thought I couldn't use layer feed with them. My plan for their next bag was all flock and keep doing the oyster shell.

6 month old brahma. I feed them chick starter, they are on their last bag. They do have oyster in another container that they do eat. I also give them dried soldier fly larvae and organic scratch. And some fruit every now and then.

Yes she's a 6 month old brahma. So should I do anything about it?

I saw one of my chickens that hasn't laid yet go into the nest box and she left this. It looks gelatinous! Did the shell break inside of her? What do I do??

Ok. Well I just fixed their nest boxes up with nesting pads and fake eggs so hopefully they get the point if it's going to be time soon:)

I'm not gonna go feeling up my chickens lol! Maybe it will be necessary at some point but that's not today :lau

Brahma guides only say around 6 or 7 months for them to lay...or sometimes even longer

I've noticed 2 or 3 of my brahma ladies are starting to squat when the humans approach them instead of making a mad dash away. I have 5 total, hatched on March 23. 2 of them have much pinker floppy doos and neck jiggles than the others so I think they are getting ready to lay.. but from what...

Hi, I got it from roostandroot.com and it is mega sturdy. It was also mega expensive but I live in hot California so I needed very big and open for my ladies.

We did it! And by we I mean mostly my husband! The chickies are going out this evening! I'm so happy! Also, kind of sad that they are going outside. My first chickies are growing up :hit

Yeah it says 2 people and 12 hours... no. No way. And now, since I'm sunburned and it hurts, I can't work on it until around 5 or 6pm and there's a modicum of shade. I don't know if I will finish it tonight :idunno

Nope. The nest area isn't done nor the door and its wide open so no chickies out in the coop tonight. And I haven't quite figured out how to get the mister system to work how I want it so bleh

Hmmm a pastel color seems fun!
