Thanks everyone! So far, so good. No additional problems so far. Egg production has actually gone up in the last week. We now have 10 laying hens, and 1 pullet. We have started getting about 7 eggs a day out of them, up from 5. We actually got a pullet egg yesterday for a total of 8 eggs...

Hi Guys! I am in Georgetown. Just starting with chickens, but we bought 12 hens that are already laying (well 11 of them are, ones a pullet). They came with the coop I bought. I'm looking forward to learning here.

Hello! My wife and I just got our first chickens. She grew up with chickens, but I am somewhat new to them. We bought a very nice used coop and 12 laying hens, and are off to a flying start.
I am looking forward to learning from everyone here.
Thanks!
Chris
