Hi all...We have 6 chickens, and our nesting area is plenty big for everyone to comfortably lay, and I keep it clean and fresh. For some reason though, my ameraucauna won't lay her eggs in there. She will pull straw from the nest and make her own little spot in the corner of the coop. She is...
My California Leghorn just laid 2 eggs. She is only 4 months old. While we are super excited, I just want to make sure it's OK. Most everything I've read says they start laying at 6 months.
We have a coop that has ramp access to a run area, but they seem to be content with just staying in the coop all day. If I leave the door to the coop open, they will eventually come out to free range. They are fed and watered, so should I just not worry about it?
