    Seems like it took FOREVER!!

    I had a hen that did that also but she eventually quit. Now I have two new hens laying in a nest they built in the coop. I tear the nest up every day and the next day they make it again. I guess they don't like the nesting boxes.

    Got three eggs in the nesting box, one broken one in the coop and a soft shell in the yard. I finally have the recycled new coop done and the girls moved in tonight. We had to do a few revisions once they were in but they were already checking out the nesting boxes! I think I'll leave them in...

    What breed of Chickens do you have? I have RIRs, RSL, BSL, BR, and Australorps. Three of my older hens still haven't started laying yet. I think my RIRs and my sex links are laying. I've been giving them pep talks at night when I put them up and thanking whoever laid the eggs today. My...

    5 eggs today! I have 3 more older hens to start laying. My other 4 will be towards the end of September I think. My coop is a recycled wooden shed with recycled furnishings. Nothing to post lol. Hopefully next summer I will have a nicer one. Yes, you need to get a basket and so do I!

    I got four hard shell eggs today!!I'm almost done with my coop. Right now they are in a shed with a makeshift nesting box. It will probably be a couple of months before I get the run done but for now they are free ranging and loving it. I just hope some of the hens aren't laying somewhere in...

    I have a fourth hen laying! But she's laid 3 soft almost no shell eggs 3 times now. Ugh! I had the oyster shell in a container by the food but they hardly ate out of it. At night when I feed them I throw out some BOSS in their coop so they will stir up the litter. Tonight I threw out some...

    One of mine did that several days in a row. I started letting them out of the coop a little earlier and she hasn't done it since. I'm happy for you it finally has a shell though!

    I wouldn't be afraid to eat it. I feed my Cornish Cross medicated feed up to the last week or so before we butcher.

    2 EGGS today!!! I'm pretty sure it was my Black Sex Link that gave me the eggstra egg today. I saw her in the coop with the Red Sex Link this morning and she has started letting me pet her recently. I wish I could get a few more hens too but my coop isn't big enough and I want to add to my...
