    Winter Eggs

    Hi everyone! How do you all go about collecting eggs in the winter? I usually just collect once a day in the evening. Can cold and or possible frozen eggs be brought inside to sit on the counter or do they need to go in the fridge?

    Winterizing metal fence post run

    Hi everyone! Looking for some creative ideas to keep our run covered in the winter (mostly from hawks). Currently we have thin plastic netting over the top which I know will collapse with snow on it. Any ideas? Pictures attached of our current set up

    Coop Bedding - Sanicare?

    Update: I love this stuff! It’s wood chips in the consistency of sand and is very soft. I also added poop boards / trays with sweet PDZ. The coop floor has stayed so clean and scent free. I go in there about once a week and sift out any droppings.

    Coop Bedding - Sanicare?

    Hi! Does anyone use Sanicare by Espoma for their coop bedding? I am strongly considering this and looking for opinions / routine with it. We’re in Pennsylvania!

    Fanned our tail feathers

    Hi all! My one Easter Egger hen almost always has her tail feathers fanned out, almost like a turkey. Below is a comparison of her tail feathers vs my other EE. Can anyone tell me why this is?

    New egg layer behavior

    I haven’t tried this! The first soft egg shell egg she laid was like 3 inches outside of the nesting box so I was waiting to see what she did with this one. If it isn’t in the nesting box, I will do this! Thanks!

    New egg layer behavior

    Transitioning Feed

    Hi everyone! Our girls are almost 19 weeks. We just got our first egg from a speckled sussex yesterday (yay!) but it was very soft shelled. I have read so many conflicting posts about transitioning feed. We still have them on chick / grower crumbles and started supplementing oyster shells...
