I am not new here but have not been on for a while. We moved last August and had to give my girls away before the move. Now that we are settled in I have 10 new girls to raise. They are 8 weeks old and oh how I have missed having them around.
I have golden comets this time had barred rocks...
I just collected eggs and one of my hens laid a soft shelled egg. ?????? curious to know what is going on. Other are hard shelled. They free range in my back yard ....... what am i missing.....
So I have three eggs now!! Problem is my girls free range through the backyard and I am finding them in the flower beds. How or what should I do to get them to do to lay their eggs in the nesting box?
It is so hot here I feel they are better off free ranging in the back yard!

My 6 hens are now 22 weeks old. I just noticed this morning that one of them has arranged the hay in what looks the the beginning of a nest. Is this an indication that one of the is fixing to lay?
