    Thank you all for the warm welcome and good advice. My "girls" are going in and out of the coop and pen right now. The weather is too hot to keep them in the coop. I notice when they aren't sure, they run back into the coop. They will be free ranged eventually. They are familiar with a nest...

    New owner has a question

    Hi everyone. I just adopted 4 RIRs. I've never had chickens before, although I have raised a couple flocks of ducks. My first question is how often should I check for eggs? The previous owner told me they are afternoon layers.
