    2 year old hens not laying eggs????

    You don't state how old your chickens are. Leave oyster shells in a container in their coop (Like next to their entrance/exit door) they will eat it as they need it. Make sure to check and refill it when getting low. Mine eat the chunk oyster shells and I'm not comfortable with giving them...

    The lower the gauge number the stronger the fence will be.

    Double fencing for run?

    Shadrach is correct. Outside of existing fencing. Keeps predators from digging underneath existing fence. Do you have the run covered? That should be a concern as well.

    Sick chicken hunched over

    She might have egg yolk peritonitis. You will have to research it. But definitely do not put her back out with the flock.

    Do you keep eggs that were in freezing temps?

    No, we don't trash all eggs. Eggs can be cold but as long as the shell is not cracked we keep them. If shell cracked, they now have bacteria that could have entered through the crack; we will toss them, feed them back to flock, or to dog, etc. Happy Chickening
