I have a few questions or observance, have you ever seen the hen in the nesting box eat a few of those tiny feathers the chickens have? And we have 14 Australorps but one of them is laying a whitish colored egg....And one of them is laying on the floor right underneath the 2x4's..Do you think...

it was on the hen house floor....Today there was another another egg on the floor and it was really elongated, so maybe the same hen laid it.... I'm hoping that she starts laying in the nesting boxes....Rae

All of my layers are now laying in the nests... I one of the first eggs was a double yoke already.... Wow,and the egg wasn't even that big... I was wondering if anybody knows what is best to keep their water from freezing.... heat tape with a sensor or a bird bath heater with a sensor?

Well I think I have 2 chickens laying now because there were 2 eggs today (on the floor) but one is a little darker brown... I have a question, when storing the eggs do you put the big end up or the smaller end up? The hens were so happy to see me today..
