    Pop-out nest boxes should open from the top,..or side?

    I have a lid-opener and I think it would be my preference. I have plenty of room to clean the area, I have easy access to the eggs, and I can check on birds without scaring them out.

    Waterer for just two hens?

    I have a small coop with just two hens. I'm currently using the traditional, white and red waterer that is placed on the ground atop bricks. However, I am getting tired of the daily (sometimes multiple times a day) cleaning that this waterer requires. Not to mention that it takes up a good solid...

    The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

    Is that a waterer in the first picture? I am trying to think of something that will take up less ground space and will need less cleaning. Where is the water source for that one? (if it is a waterer)

    The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

    This is Fancy, my new girl. I am just so excited about her. The breeder said she was 8-9 months, but I am not sure. She has not yet started laying. I am hoping once she gets adjusted she will start.

    My new English Blue Orpington hen

    Well, if that is the case, I have no idea then. The hatchery (Bob's Biddies in Ray City, GA) told me that it was called a Dena's Special which is a cross between a Domonique and RIR. It doesnt matter to me. I DO know that my new girl is pretty awesome though! LOL

    My new English Blue Orpington hen

    Thank you both! I am just so excited with her. My other hen is a hatchery special, aka mutt, so I am very happy to have something of quality now. She's just so sweet and pretty. I cant wait to start handling her more.

    My new English Blue Orpington hen

    I am just so excited. I purchased this girl yesterday. The lady said she was about 8-9 months old. She actually wasn't for sale, but I couldn't leave without her. She's so calm and laid back. I'm kind of surprised she has not started laying yet, but hopefully she will soon. Just wanted to share.

    My new English Blue Orpington hen

    I am new to this breed and have been researching like crazy since I purchased her. What can you tell me? She is supposed to be about 8-9 months old and the lady said she should start laying eggs anytime. I just love her look and demeanor. She's so laid back and calm.

    Why is she moulting so often?

    A year and a half.

    Why is she moulting so often?

    Thank you for your reply. I'm not so sure she is a gradual moulter, as you suggest. I suppose so, but I would assume they'd continue laying at some interval if they were gradual moulters. She stops laying completely with each moult for weeks at a time. Could there be something else making her...
