Oh and my dad like refuses to eat store eggs now so no going back now :P

Yeah, I've heard mixing Silkies is a bad idea, but no one really mentions EEs or Amers and that should maybe be mentioned more but i think it also maybe depends on the bird cause some have more of a personality.

Yeah, mine grew up together and sometimes hang together/stick together but she's also close to the Orpingtons. I can see how the relaxed flock environment would probably help and be better but i think for now i can manage with the bigger coop and run and free ranging but in the future I think i...

Yeah, had I known some would be mean, I probably wouldn't have added the EE's. She hasn't even been laying cause she's been bullied. Which is actually weird because they used to get along fine. I think it's mostly the Australorps and Barred Rock causing problems. But that said, I think a large...

Yeah, my one EE is definitely last on the pecking order. The other one I think is a little bit higher. They seem to be pretty nice but sometimes the higher ranking one can join the others in being a little mean

We could definitely use some rain! And thank you, it feels like its hotter than it usually is at this time of year but I'm not sure if it actually is. But either way it is hot. I'm hoping we get some rain soon. But so far I've been staying inside or going out so I'm not in the heat

Not too sure! It did rain in may and April but even then not nearly as much as it usually does. It's weird, we really haven't had much rain. Or it hits to the more northern states and misses us. Definitely weird weather.

Wow that really stinks! So hot haha

I don't know about other states but Massachusetts is in a bit of a midl drought i think. We had one downpour of rain last week for a couple minutes but then it stopped and i dont think it even soaked in and was probably not quite as bad as that anyway. I think we have maybe had one or two othe...

WHOA where do you live!?!?@

Wow that's awesome!

Mine are the same though they rarely take breaks

Oh wow, that would be a lot of eggs if true! LOL you've got some serious producing hens over there :P

I'll get working on the breeding program.. starting with finding a hen that lays 2 eggs a day, I've heard of them. Anyone got one to loan me?

I may have become a billionaire with that one! Have only one hen and get nearly 3 dozen eggs a week! Perfect for city folks with limited space! :lau

Shoot! You're right! I meant 5 a week. Whoops! LOL i dont know any hen who can lay 5 a day

Yeah, I wonder too. She came out a little while after. She was in there for like 30 or 40 mins total then flew out the back door across the yard in. real hurry LOL Thanks! We were gonna put it on a hill in the front yard but figured that was too far away. Wow that's impressive! I think I...

I find they tend to lay later lately so I collect at lock up now

And our coop is right off the deck off the kitchen and porch room so it's close too

Yeah, my orps usually take the longest. Although right now May the barred rock has been in the box like 20 or 30 mins. I let the girls out at 4:30 or so to enjoy some sunshine (usually it's 6 or 6:30) and May has not left the box yet. 449 now. Lol
