    Nesting Box Divider

    My hens started laying this week and lazy me never put dividers in their nesting box. Their box is as wide as the coop, roughly 4ft long and 12" deep. There are three cut outs going into the nesting box and I was going to put two dividers for three nesting boxes total. I only have 4 hens...

    Need help identifying hens please

    Now the next hard task. Which ones do I keep vs re-home. I only have room for 4-5. 5 is pushing it, so most likely going to keep 4. When choosing my hens, is there anything to look for? Or just blindly pick the ones I like? Thanks for all the help. As you can tell, still a complete newb.

    I could use some help identifying these Easter Eggers. I can only keep 5 birds so I need to make sure the 5 I keep are 100% hens. These are 18 weeks old from yesterday. Thank you very much!

    Roo or NOT Part II

    UGH. I also started 2nd guessing everything after looking over my photos. At what age would you say its easy to confidently say hen or not? These chickens don't have enough space for 9 of them in my current run and I cannot expand. At the same time I don't want to rehome 5 just to find out...

    Roo or NOT Part II

    So, sound like he has to go. When picking out my 4, is there anything in particular I should look for? Outside of not being a dude!! LOL. Not sure if I should be picky. At this rate, these are going to be the most expensive eggs in the world!!. Joking aside, if I pick 4 and post some...

    Roo or NOT Part II

    So after my last post and realizing the hatchery sent over 50% roos, I had to start over as they sent 10 more chicks. I now have 9 chickens that are almost 3 months old. I only have space for 4 chickens and must rehome the remaining. I want to 10000% ensure I have 4 hens this go around!! I...

    I cannot enlarge the space. The run is 4x8 and coop is roughly 3x4.

    Roo or Not

    Daughter will be fine...it makes em tougher! Yeah, trying to rehome now. Im sure getting rid of 3 roos may be a challenge. Talked to Hoover. They were very nice, and suggested I get rid of all 4 and "start over". They are sending out 10 next week. How long should I keep all 10 before...

    Roo or Not

    Here is the whole scoop. Family really wanted Eater Eggers so I waited until we could order these. Called TSC weekly before they suggested just ordering but had to be a minimum of 10. So, I ordered 10 and kept them for 4 weeks before giving two friends 3 each. My space only allows for 4...
