    Rats getting in run & eating feed

    Not sure if it’s possible but I’m having the same issue. I put a pulley above the food with a chunk of rope to the door and another pulley. When I lock up the coop at night I pull the feed to the top of the run and they haven’t figured how to get up there...yet.

    Egg without shell

    So this last week we finally had all of our EE from April laying! They all have laid a few eggs over the last ten days or so.
