Anyone else starting to see a reduction in eggs laid?

So, I've got a problem that just started about a month ago and I'm looking for some help. I have 8 hens that are laying and 25 hens that are about 2 months from laying. The 8 older hens use the nesting boxes just fine, but some of the other hens like to get in the boxes during the day and kick...

I put my registration in the mail for the Clemson Chicken class on the 25th. Is anyone on here going to that class?

Got the first egg today!

I just got done watching "Chicken TV". I know it is the same re-run every night, but it never gets old!

Hopefully your 1st chick experience isn't like mine. Just so happened someone else had ordered chicks from the same place I did, and they came in on the same day. They gave him both boxes! Luckily, the kind gentleman lived about a mile away from us and dropped them by the house.

Yes, they do grow fast! I enjoy sitting down and watching them play like little kids. They sure can be funny sometimes.

Maybe it is both. Maybe he/she is protecting his/her next meal. The dog appears to be well mannered.

Thanks, Avonshire. It was made from mostly extras/scraps from coop construction. It is made so the four panels can came apart and store easily.

The little chicks got a new temporary home today. The bigger chickens are really starting to show their colors.(About 2 1/2 months old)

I cut the grass today. You know what that means. The chickens got a snack!

I can't figure this one out. Any ideas?
