    DO I NEED MORE BOXES, my chickens are laying eggs everywhere in the coop and not in the boxes?

    Hello, so we just randomly decided in my flock of 6, lets just not use the 3 provided nesting boxes and lets literally just lay everywhere in the coop, even just right on top of the straw in the middle of the coop. I have cleaned out the nesting boxes, there wasn't poop or anything dirty. I am...

    Goslings and brooder temps

    Yeah i have a brooder plate that raises and lowers but it I am assuming it won't last long with their size. i do have a red low voltage light I use with my chicks just for the light. Sorry is a heat emitter one of the plates that stands up? Or is it a bulb, thanks!

    Hmmm 🤔 not sure if a pigeon snuck in over night or if my chickens are in egg regression. 😂

    Haha I went to collect eggs..mind you my 6 girls have been laying 6 a day for the past two days. So to my surprise when...this " "whooper" was left for me by itself. 😂 One picture shows you my large, bantam size and then this...which was def one of the big girls... surprised it didn't just roll...
