    Upcycled coop from pallets

    That's fantastic, I love the design of it and really like the way you've raised it off the ground. The idea of the ventilation windows at the top is brilliant. I think I'll make a few openings in mine too and cover them with some air vents. You've done a really good job!

    Upcycled coop from pallets

    Thank you. The roof is fastened on and the only entry point is through the side door which is large enough for me to reach inside. The sloped roof on the nest box is hinged to allow easy access to the eggs. On the topic of ventilation, I thought maybe as the front open gap door is always open...

    Upcycled coop from pallets

    I like the idea of re-using old unused materials to create something useful so I decided to build a new coop from scratch out of old pallets. The idea from the start was to create a shabby chic style coop that was clearly upcycled and the raw materials were still recognisable to add charm to my...

    Golf balls?

    3 out of 4 of my hens are now laying and I was surprised to find that they laid their eggs in the nest box and I never got round to putting in a golf ball or a fake egg.

    Show us your cooked eggs!

    This is one of my hens first eggs, fried fresh within minutes. Literally, the egg was still warm when I collected it. It's an egg from a Silkie so it's small but it was very tasty!

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    I honestly don't know, I chose her for her colours from a breeder who had tens of different breeds and even she said she had no idea. Your Darthy looks similar, she too has nice colouring.

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    I don't know which one of these laid it but these are the only two of my chickens that are ready to lay. One's a Silkie the other is a Silkie mix.

    I'm beginning to think mine were too. As a complete newbie at the time I had no idea

    Your thoughts on feeding egg to your chickens

    Thanks for your responses, this is good to know. I did feed some scrambled egg to mine and they LOVED it. It was gone in seconds. I like the idea of adding crushed shell to their feed for extra calcium. I will be saving my eggshells from now on then.

    Your thoughts on feeding egg to your chickens

    I need your views on this please. I've read that people sometimes feed any surplus eggs they get from their chickens TO their chickens. I know it's a great source of protein and the shell could be used like grit and I also understand that some people advice against this as they may get a taste...
