When I first got my hen at a month old, she would always roost but lately (now six months old and starting to lay) she won't even touch the roosting stick. Is there something I should be worried about?

I don't know if there is already a thread like this but post pics of your chickens, rooster's and/or hen's. I'm interested in seeing the variety of breeds out there.

I too want to know what the differences between a RIR and NHR are.

Yeah hah, my hen actually lays almost at the same time of the morning so it's pretty easy for me to know when to look. But as for my question, in your opinion, would you place warm eggs straight into the refrigerator?

Hey people! Do you guys put freshly laid eggs right into the refrigerator while it's still warm? Or let it cool for awhile?
