    I read that chickens wouldn't do this!

    There are always exceptions. I had a hen take 6-8 week old chicks. I've actually never had a problem giving any age chicks to my hens. But those hens were silkies and cochins so the breed does help.

    Green Coop

    How old are your orpingtons? They do get quite large when full grown. My uncle has that coop as a growout pen for his chicks (2-4 at a time). They get too cramped after a few months but then they go in the main coop. Personally I would only keep two full grown small bantams max in it with a lot...

    Night layer hen laying from roost

    A poop hammock works well to catch them. One of my hens started doing that last week and my feed bag hammock (8" below) catches the egg without breaking it. The egg does get dirty though.

    Dog Run Coop - What Am I missing

    Once the chickens destroy the grass (soon), the easiest way is to just rake the poop up as often as needed.

    25 weeks, no eggs :(

    I have 5 wheaten marans at 29 weeks and only one laying. It is frustrating. Your girl looks way ahead of mine, even the one laying.

    Hen adopting chicks

    I think if would be safe to. I just tossed two more under my hen last night after her two a week earlier. I don't think she even noticed they weren't there before.
