    Eggs of mature Hen missing yolk twice

    Eggs of mature Hen missing yolk twice

    need a clever name for my chicken coop - suggestions?

    We call ours the "Corona coop" cause it was built during the lockdown. We used our stimulus money for it so we got our money for nothing and our chicks for free.

    Hi. I’m new

    I am starting from scratch so no coop yet. Thinking of a chicken tractor. I can’t wait for the weather to break here in Michigan so I can park my car outside to make room to build the coop. Thanks for the welcome
