my hens do the same, though my nest boxes are big enough to fit three comfortably.
they prefer the one furthest from the door and most out of sight, and leave the other three mostly untouched with a few exceptions. they pick whichever is darkest, cleanest, and safest-feeling and refuse to lay...
I am looking for the hybrids or birds that lay more for a year than consistent laying, since I am going to be marrying soon and don't want the birds but for a year or so, plus I don't want as many.
so I've had chickens for three years, and my hens are just too old to lay enough to keep up with my demands. I want to get some layers but I want the best layers possible - and not leghorns, I'd like brown or blue eggs. I've heard isa brown are good, and I've gotten RSL and BSL before. what...
Yes but that was a while back. This bird came from a lady i know and she must have had the bugs before she came.
Never assume you know until you have all the facts btw
It has definitely worked for me! I had a rooster with mites and i used the DE to get rid of them. Within three days of applying the DE they were gone.
Ok
