Once in a while i would find one on the floor where they perch. I got them up a few minutes earlier every day with a timer, So far so good. They would eat an egg if it was broken, butmostly left them alone. Maybe, I just got lucky. good luck

I use a light to give them 12 hours of daylight in winter. They stay out for 14 hours in summer on their own.

7 from 10 today. Woo!

I will grab an egg out from under a hen. It sometimes takes them forever to get off.

Mine did that a few times, I put a light on a timer to get them up earlier. It seems to do the trick.

Woo Hoo! Congrats

I gave a dozen to my neighbor, so he won't mind the egg laying song all afternoon.

My white leghorns do that too.

I love a double yolker, one of my RSL lays one every couple of weeks. Yum yum

8 from 10 yesterday, 8 from 10 today.

I think mine are starting to molt for the first time. We take the feathers out of the coop, leave them in the yard for the birds to feather their nests.

I have two chickens that occasionally sleep in a different area, I used to put them on the roost, then i figured maybe they wanted peace for a night. I can relate, so, I leave them alone.

Woo Hoo! The first egg is always the best.

You can't go wrong in talking to them. Everyone has the right to peace and quiet.

I put 3 BSL with 7 white leghorns (all girls) it took a couple months for them to even sit next to each other. 4 months later,BSL's sleep with the leghorns. They had to get their pecking order established. So far so good. Good Luck!
