    1 Lying Down, 1 Month Breathing, 2 Possible Sneezes

    They have had access to supplements since they've been integrated with my other hen, roughly 12 weeks ago. They have access to both S&P Starter and Layer grit, in a dish and sprinkled around the run.

    Absolutely! My eldest daughter informed me that she can't take any eggs home with her this time because she's staying with friends for a few days before heading back home. She added that next visit she can take a carton or two, though. I thought that was generous of her considering I hadn't...
