    Egg laid in a Sack

    I have 3 RI REDS and 1 has been in the same nesting spot for 2 days. I've taken 4 eggs from under her, but I haven't seen her move to eat or drink....it's 90+ degrees. Tonight I placed her in a wire cage with food and water to try and break this. Good idea? Bad idea? I'm new, and was reading...

    New and hoping for some advice

    I agree with the Rhode Island Reds. I was suggested to get those and I did. They are free range, yard hens with 1 Rooster. Both hens are friendly, and one started laying 3 days ago. Nice yummy brown eggs too.

    My 1st Egg, EXCITED

    I'm now getting an egg a day which mean 1 hen is laying and the other is not.... what? why could this be when both are the same age, although DeWalt ( my Roo) is smitten over the one laying.

    This is my Rooster DeWalt

    So Dewalt spent the evening in the coop with his new Hens. This was a first. He only roosts in there at night when the rains come hard. He can't wait till I open that pen .
