    Hen consistently laying small eggs

    One of our Barred Rocks is laying all small eggs. They are slightly larger than a robin egg. I have read posts here about small eggs and the usual answer is that 'it's normal as long as it's just occasional'. In our case, I believe that all of here eggs are tiny. I have collected 5 in the...

    Bobsdad's first Coop

    As everyone else has stated, you have done a great job and inspired others with your workmanship and design. I too have started our coop based on your design. Because of the closeness of neighbors I have installed a solid wall on the back side to hopefully cut down on any noise from the...
