    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I get varying numbers from day to day, lately I get 5 to 7 from 12 hens, 5 SLW's and 7 RIR's . And someone in the coop is breaking eggs...What do I do about that?

    Rain and chickens??

    Today would be a good day in NC to see how my RIRs like the rain. But I don't go out in it until it is absolutely necessary. I have a nice dry coop for them to stay in, maybe it will slack up enough for them to get out to the hanging feeder after a while.

    Thanks for the replies. Even before I bought my pullets, I was researching here on BYC. Lots of information and very friendly coop keepers!

    New to BYC and new to raising chickens

    We have built a coop/run and purchased 8 RIR pullets, as we want to raise our own eggs. I saw an article on socializing chicks, I have to assume that with pullets that ship has sailed. Any tips on not being pecked to death as we go in to feed them and gather eggs?
